Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) White fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 cup (for steaming) Water
Instructions
Season the fish fillets with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice on both sides. Let them marinate for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the steamer.
Set up a steamer by boiling 1 cup of water in a pot and placing a steaming rack or basket over the boiling water. Make sure the water level does not touch the rack or basket.
Lightly grease the steaming rack or basket with olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking.
Place the fish fillets on the steaming rack or in the basket. Cover the pot with a tight lid and steam the fish over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is steaming, prepare the sour cream sauce. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Once the fish is cooked, transfer it carefully to serving plates using a spatula. Spoon the sour cream sauce generously over each fillet.
Garnish with freshly chopped dill, if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with steamed vegetables or a side of rice for a complete meal.
