Steamed Fish With Kaffir Lime Leaves image

This is simple, perfect and low fat as well. I use orange roughy but any firm white fish is suitable. My friend Maureen gave me this recipe. If kaffir leaves are not available lime or lemon slices would work.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe kaffir limes: The aroma and flavor of kaffir limes are at their peak when they are ripe. Look for limes that are green and have a slightly bumpy skin.
  • Use fresh kaffir lime leaves: Fresh kaffir lime leaves are essential for making this sauce. Dried leaves can be used, but they will not have the same flavor and aroma.
  • Toast the kaffir lime leaves: Toasting the kaffir lime leaves will bring out their flavor and aroma. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.
  • Use a good quality fish sauce: Fish sauce is a key ingredient in this sauce. Choose a fish sauce that is made from anchovies and salt, and that has a clear, amber color.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: The sauce should be balanced, with a combination of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors. Adjust the ingredients to your taste.

Conclusion:

Kaffir lime sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is especially good with grilled or roasted meats, fish, and vegetables. The sauce is also a great addition to soups, stews, and curries. With its unique flavor and aroma, kaffir lime sauce is sure to add a touch of excitement to your next meal.
