Ideas And Tips:

• You can use fish fillet for this dish. You can use any type of white fish you can find: cod, dory, haddock or snapper. Fresh is best but you can use frozen ones as long as you bring it to room temperature before cooking.

• To check if the fish is cooked, use a fork to gently lift the flesh from the bone. If it sticks, it is not cooked yet and let it steam with the lid on for a few more minutes.
