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)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets. Lightly season them with a pinch of salt and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the sauce by mixing hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Place the fish fillets on top of the vegetables and spoon the hoisin sauce mixture evenly over the fish and vegetables.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve the hoisin fish and vegetables hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or enjoy on its own for a light meal.
