The Easy Diabetes Diet Plan Cookbook - Steamed Fish Fillet with Onion and Tomato Relish on Brown Rice

Steamed Fish Fillet with Onion and Tomato Relish on Brown Rice

Ingredients:

Fish fillet, any white fleshed fish (e.g. Cream Dory)

Yellow onion

Tomatoes

Brown Rice

Ginger

Lemon

Dill

Low sodium soy sauce

Aluminum foil

Preparation:

For this recipe, a stove-top steamer would come in handy but you can easily put together a steamer with a large pot and a small pot that would fit inside it. This is a great example of a meal that’s easy to prepare but tastes pretty great!

The first step is to get the steamer started so that it is already hot enough when you’re ready to place the fish in. You should also get started on cooking the rice because fish cooks very fast.

Wash the rice and place inside the rice cooker or in a pot on low heat. Cover with water with about a centimetre of extra liquid on top and cook until fluffy and tender.

To begin, wash the vegetables. Core the tomatoes and dice into approximately half-centimetre cubes. Peel the onions and chop into about the same size as the tomatoes. Peel the ginger using a spoon and grate; a pinch should be enough for one fish fillet. Juice the lemon. Chop the dill finely.

Fold the aluminium foil into an envelope, leaving one side open. Place the fish fillet, the onions, the tomatoes, the dill, a teaspoon of low sodium soy sauce, and about a tablespoon of lemon juice inside the aluminium foil envelope. After that, all you need to do is place it inside the steamer.

The fish will cook in about 7 to 9 minutes; it’s that fast. This is one of my favourite dishes because it’s very easy to prepare and it gives you a lot of really great flavors, perfect with rice or even with just a bit of steamed, smashed broccoli or cauliflower.
