Prepare the fish by cleaning and gutting it if necessary.

Slice ginger into thin strips and place inside the fish cavity.

Chop green onions and sprinkle half inside the cavity with ginger.

Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides.

Place the fish on a heatproof plate that fits into your steamer.

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic.

Pour the sauce over the fish, ensuring it is well-coated.

Add water to the steamer and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Once boiling, place the plate with the fish in the steamer.

Cover and steam the fish for 10-15 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Remove the fish from the steamer carefully, garnishing with remaining green onions and cilantro.

Serve with lime wedges on the side.
