Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) White fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or sole)
- 1.5 cups Broccoli florets
- 0.5 cup Carrot, julienned
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 1 stalk Green onion, sliced (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets. Lightly season them with a pinch of salt and set aside.
Prepare the sauce by mixing hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
In a microwave-safe dish with a lid (or a dish that can be tightly covered with microwave-safe plastic wrap), arrange the broccoli florets, julienned carrots, and red bell pepper slices in an even layer.
Place the fish fillets on top of the vegetables and spoon the hoisin sauce mixture evenly over the fish and vegetables.
Cover the dish with its lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Microwave on high for 6–8 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the fish and power of the microwave, so check at the 6-minute mark.
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot) and let it rest for 1–2 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onion and cilantro leaves, if desired.
Serve the hoisin fish and vegetables hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or enjoy on its own for a light meal.
