Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Lime-Garlic Steamed Fish:

1. Prepare the Fish: Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Marinate: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Pour this mixture over the fish fillets and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Prepare the Steamer: Fill a pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. If you have a steamer basket, place it over the pot. If not, you can use a heatproof plate.
4. Arrange the Fish: Place the marinated fish fillets in the steamer basket or on the plate. Make sure they are spaced out to allow even cooking.
5. Steam: Cover the pot with a lid and steam the fish for 15-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
6. Check for Doneness: Ensure the fish is cooked through and opaque. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, carefully remove the fish and place it on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and lime wedges.
8. Serve: Enjoy your Lime-Garlic Steamed Fish immediately with your choice of sides.
