Easy way to cook fish 3

Ingredients:

  • Any fish, with or without the skin

  • Any assorted vegetables, cut / sliced into desirable pieces

  • Olive oil

  • Salt / soy sauce / coconut aminos

  • Optional: pesto (can be vegan)

Instructions:

  1. Heat up the pan, add a splash of oil.

  2. Add all vegetables and a small splash of water to create steam.

  3. Season with salt / soy sauce / coconut aminos and stir through.

  4. Place fish on top of vegetable skin side up and close the pan with a lid.

  5. Cook until fish has set - steam created in the pan will take care of that.

  6. When cooked, you can spread some pesto over the fish.

    If you have fish with the skin and want to crisp it up, you can place the fish under the grill for a few minutes.
