Lightly salt fish cavity. Place ginger slices in cavity of fish. Put fish  
on a sheet of aluminum foil or ti leaf large enough to curl sides about 1 inch  
upwards all around the fish, to catch fish juices while steaming. Squeeze  
lemon over the fish, then sprinkle with salt. Place on top of steamer rack.  
Add water to bottom of steamer up to about 1 inch deep. Cover steamer and  
begin timing when water starts to boil. Steam for 10–15 minutes (check if  
done, take care not to overcook). When fork-tender, remove fish from  
steamer and lay on a serving platter. Set aside liquid.
