As a family, we love fish and every now and then you will see a fish dish on our dinner table. If you are like us, check out some of our other fish recipes on our website.
I think steamed fish is the best way to savour the freshness, tenderness and silky texture of the fish. This Steamed Herbal Fish is no exception. Moreover, it is enhanced by the herbal gravy and with almost 0% fat in this dish!! Those who are watching their waistline will welcome this dish. Hahaha. Hence, I would classify this dish as a healthy dish, as the herbal infused gravy helps to replenish the nutrients to our bodies without compromising on the taste. Wait no more and let’s start eating healthier!
