We have left the shores of the Indian continent and have now embraced the Pacific shores for close to five months now! New beginnings call for new experiences and new experiments. I have been thinking of trying out a fish recipe for long and it finally happened, here in the United States of America. Seattle is known for great sea food, ranging from salmon, oysters to clams and crabs. I already tried salmon and crab and they are delicious. So the last time I went shopping, I thought it is time for me to make some fish and here it is!
This is a simple steamed fish with veggies and rice.
For the fish and veggies, you will need -
1/2 of a large one or 2 small ones - Eggplant (diced)
1 - Zucchini (diced)
8 - 10 - Baby Carrots or carrots (diced)
1 - Tomato (diced)
Parsley/ Thyme - a couple of teaspoons
2 - Fish fillets ( I have used Tilapia fish here)
Salt as per your liking
Pepper as per your liking
1 tablespoon - Olive oil/ any other odorless oil
A pinch of sugar
Method -
First, marinate the fish with salt and pepper, just a dash of it. Leave it to rest for about half an hour.
Take a wide pan and heat olive oil. Add all the veggies, the sugar and sauté for a few minutes. Adding a pinch of sugar lets the veggies retain their colour. Then add the salt, pepper, parsley and thyme, generously. I like a lot of flavor.
When they are bout 50 percent done, place the fish fillets on top of the veggies and cover the pan. Allow to cook in the steam of the veggies. This way the flavours from the summer vegetables get infused into the fish. After about five minutes, flip the fillets and cook till well done.
For the rice, you will need -
1 cup - Cooked Rice
Olive oil
2 pods - Garlic (fine chopped or minced)
1 small - Onion (fine chopped)
Salt
Pepper
1 bowl - Broccoli florets (cooked)
Method -
Take a deep bottom pan, heat the oil. Add the garlic and the onion, sauté. Then add the broccoli. I steam them in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes with a dash of water and salt. Then add the rice and quick fry with salt and pepper. Dinner's ready!
