Microwave-steamed Cod

Found some cheap cod in Sainsbury's and decided to give it a try.

It was a whole fish, filleted into two halves. Just nice for two meals.

I've never cooked fish before so it was a welcome change. Unfortunately, time is an expensive commodity these few weeks, so I couldn't afford to attempt anything too fancy.

Here's my express version of steamed fish :)

Seasoned the fish with soya sauce, salt, pepper, and Worchestershire sauce. Then, I soaked some finely chopped spring onions in sesame seed oil, and sprinkled them over the top along with some butter.

Placed it in a microwave-safe deep enough so that when covered with microwave-safe saran wraps, the fish doesn't touch the plastic. The saran wrap was meant to trap all the heat and moisture in while microwaving it, thus effectively steaming the dish.

Of course, I've never done this before so I was quite apprehensive at first. To be safe, I made last minute modifications and opened a small gap in the plastic so that the whole thing doesn't baloon up and explode :p

4 minutes on high. (supposedly, cod cooks much faster than other fish. err... I think..).

From here:
Cod is very easy to cook. Because it's a lean fish, it cooks quickly. And if you poach or steam the fish, it can be extremely succulent

Didn't turn out too bad loh. A bit bland. For once, the Green Devil came it handy!

Microwave-steamed cod - the fastest dish I've ever cooked! 5 minutes only. Even faster than Maggi Mee.
