Steaming tilapia with slices of lemon and a scatter of garlic keeps the fish tender and infuses it with flavor without needing any added salt. A cool cucumber salad on the side, dressed with just a little rice vinegar, keeps the whole plate feeling light.

We kept the fish portion sensible and skipped added salt entirely, leaning on lemon, garlic, and ginger for flavor instead, which makes this a genuinely lower-sodium dinner that also fits liver-friendly cooking thanks to the garlic. It's an easy plate to build a regular rotation around.
