This elegant spring onion fish with sesame kale is a vibrant, nutrient-rich dish that celebrates fresh flavours and clean cooking. By steaming the white fish over a bed of aromatics, including ginger and coriander stems, the flesh remains incredibly moist and picks up a delicate fragrance. The accompanying sauce provides a savoury depth with just a hint of citrus, perfectly balancing the natural sweetness of the fish.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on heart-healthy fats and lean protein while keeping the carbohydrate count low. The Tuscan kale adds a wonderful texture and a boost of iron, making this a wholesome choice for anyone looking for a lighter, balanced dinner. It is simple enough for a quick weekday meal but sophisticated enough to serve to guests who appreciate healthy, homemade food.
