Steam fish in butter sauce guyanese style 🇬🇾

Clean and season the paggy fish, then set it aside.

Squeeze lime juice and zest half of the lime to prepare for seasoning.

Heat a frying pan and add a little oil to it.

Flour the fish lightly to prevent overflow when frying.

Once the oil is hot, place the fish in the frying pan to fry until it gets color, turning it to achieve an even browning.

Remove the fish from the pan after achieving the desired color.

In the same frying pan, add the remaining oil and fry the garlic until fragrant.

Add boiled water from a kettle to the frying pan as the cooking liquid.

Season the boiling water with black pepper and seasoning salt to taste.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the seasoned water for a buttery flavor.

Add the fish back into the pan, spoon some of the gravy over it, and cover the pan.

Steam the fish for 5 minutes, then check for doneness.
