Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon (as stated above, I used tilapia, 3/4-inches thick) or 1 lb grouper (as stated above, I used tilapia, 3/4-inches thick) or 1 lb other fish fillet, 1 1/2-inches thick (as stated above, I used tilapia, 3/4-inches thick)
  • 1 (8 ounce) packagefresh sugar snap peas
  • 1 cup sliced shiitake mushroom
  • 1 tablespoon peeled minced fresh ginger
  • 12 cup pre-shredded carrot (whoever invented these is a genius)
  • 4 scallions, both white and light green parts, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • cooked rice, for serving

Method

  • Cut the fish into 1-inch wide strips and place in a 2-qt.
  • microwave-safe dish.
  • Scatter the sugar snap peas, mushrooms, ginger, carrots and scallions evenly over the fish.
  • It's going to look really pretty so take a moment to admire it.
  • Combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce and vinegar in a small bowl and then slowly drizzle over the fish and vegetables.
  • Cover the dish with plastic wrap, folding back one corner to allow the steam to escape.
  • Place the dish in the microwave and cook on high power until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are crisp tender, 6 minutes.
  • Stop every 2 minutes to gently stir and reposition the fish so that the outside pieces are moved to the inside.
  • ***I didn't really believe that the fish and veggies would be cooked in 6 minutes but they WERE and they were perfect.
  • I set the MWave for 2 minutes and just gently rearranged the fish each time (3 times).
  • Serve the fish and veggies with the cooked rice.
