Best Steamed Fish Without A Steamer With Green Beans Recipes
STEAMED FISH (WITHOUT A STEAMER) WITH GREEN BEANS
My granny used to cook fish on a plate. It's a great way to make perfectly steamed fish without overcooking it. Any white fish fillets will do; Snapper, Gurnard, Terakihi, to mention some New Zealand fish. In Scotland I made this with Haddock. Granny preferred Lemon Sole. This recipe is really only suitable for cooking for one or two. Any more than that and the fish won't fit on the plate!

Steps:
- Prepare the fish first. Trim the fish to remove any bones. Put it on a plate that is bigger than the pan you are going to use to cook the beans. Add salt, pepper and the juice of half a lemon. Save the other half of the lemon for serving.
- Trim the ends off the green beans.
- Put the beans in a pan with cold salted water.
- Put the fish plate on top of the pan and the pan lid on top of the plate to cover the fish. The heat of the plate is your improvised steamer.
- Bring the pan to a boil and simmer for about 5 to 8 minutes or until the beans are cooked. This should be enough time to cook the fish as well. If your fish fillets are thick, turn the fish half way through cooking the beans.
- Drain the beans.
- Pour the juices from the fish over the beans and toss through.
- Place the fish on plates and drizzle olive oil over the fish. The best extra-virgin olive oil adds a wonderful flavour to the fish. If you don't like the fruity flavour of olive oil, then skip this step or use milder oil.
- Serve with the beans on the side, lemon wedges and crusty bread to mop up the juices.

SIMPLEST STEAMED FISH
This really IS simple. You'll need a steamer for this dish. I don't have a steamer so I used a large roasting pan and I keep on hand 4 cans that have the top AND bottoms removed from them. A good size can would be about the size of the smaller tuna cans, or cat food cans. The ones I use happen to come from La Preferida green chili cans. Whatever can you use, just make sure all are the same size (so your platter doesn't tilt) and that they're the type that you can remove the bottom lid as well as the top (some cans have molded bottoms and can't be removed). Also, the cans can't be too tall or the lid of your roasting pan might touch your food. I use a shallow casserole dish to hold the fish.

Steps:
- Put at least 1-inch of water in the bottom of a steamer; cover and bring to a boil.
- Put the fish in a heat-proof rack or casserole; place in the steamer; cover and steam 4-8 minutes, or until the fish is done.
- Check fish often, being careful when removing the lid of the steamer so you don't get scalded.
- Stop the cooking as soon as a thin-bladed knife meets no resistance when poking the fillet.
- Thicker fillets may need about 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer the fish to a warm platter and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with coarse salt and serve.
