green chutney, (made from the recipe linked)

Water

Cut the larger tilapia filets in half. Cut parchment paper to fit and wrap fully over each filet.

Place fish on the parchment, slather on both sides with the green chutney. Use more for a spicier dish, less for a milder version.

Wrap the fish in parchment, and wrap the parchment packet with foil.

Place 1.5 cup of water in your Instant Pot, put in a trivet that will raise the fish above the water, place the filets on the trivet, and pressure cook at LOW pressure for 2 minutes, using quick pressure release once done.

Carefully unfold one packet, being careful of the steam, to check fish for doneness. if not quite done, either cook for another minute or close the lid let it steam with the cooker turned off, using residual heat to finish cooking.

Serve with rice, naan, cauliflower rice, or something mild on the side.

To make sure the plated dish is completely clear of any scales, run a cleaver over the skin and scrape off any last scales.Pro Tip: Do this under a tap of running cold water to wash the scales away.Optional: Score the fish with two lines across its body on both sides.

Use scissors to cut off the fins and to trim the tail.

Optional: Remove the gills.

Preparing The Fish For Cooking

Set up your steamer and bring it to a boil, then coat the fish’s top and insides with ginger. This will reduce any fishy smells.

Place the fish in the steamer and steam for 15 minutes or until cooked. To test it, poke a chopstick through. It should be clean when pulled out.

Pour the excess liquid out of the dish after it has been cooked.

Top the cooked seafood with spring onions and bring the oil to smoking point in a small saucepan. Pour it over the aromatics to sizzle.Pro Tip: You should see a light layer or smoke coming up from the oil once it reaches smoking point.

Meanwhile, combine the light soy sauce, sugar and water in a small saucepan with 1 tbsp cooking oil. Bring to a boil then turn off the heat and set aside.

Pour the sauce AROUND the fish to prevent it from getting soggy.

For The Steaming

Use a fork and spoon to break off the head and tail from the body.

Keep the utensils close together and cut along the length of the fish along the center from one end to the other.

Push the meat aside. The top half can be pushed up and the bottom half to the bottom.

Use the spoon to scoop up the bone. Gently pull it away from the body and place the whole bone on an empty part of the plate.

Put the meat back onto the body where it was before, this time just without the long bone inside.

Spoon some sauce over the fish to season.

Serve immediately as is!

How To Serve The Dish Restaurant Style

Create a poaching liquor of fennel, bay and parsley for your fish, then serve with an Italian 'green sauce'

Easy poached salmon

tsp peppercorn

white wine vinegar

fennel bulb

bay leaves

few parsley stalks (from the bunch used for the salsa verde)

British salmon fillet

lemon

garlic clove

anchovy fillets, rinsed if packed in salt

lemons

flat-leaf parsley

caper

tbsp rapeseed olive oil

Jersey Royal potatoes

First make the poaching liquid for the fish. Put the peppercorns, 2 tsp salt, vinegar, fennel, bay leaves and parsley stalks in a saucepan with 2.5 litres of water, and bring to the boil. Boil for 10 mins so all the flavours infuse into the liquid.

Make sure that you choose a roasting tin big enough to hold the salmon fillet. Strain the liquid into the empty tin, bring to the boil on the hob, then add the fish, skin-side down, making sure it is covered in liquid. Scatter around the lemon slices, and simmer gently for 1-2 mins until the fish changes colour completely. Cover the surface with a large piece of foil, turn off the heat and leave to cool completely. The fish will cook as the liquid cools.

To make the salsa verde, put all the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor, then blitz to make a bright, slightly chunky sauce. Season to taste.

Carefully remove the salmon to a serving platter and peel away the skin if you like. Serve with the salsa verde, new potatoes and asparagus.

Chinese steamed whole fish with ginger and scallion has always been a Lunar New Year favorite and a very popular menu item at Chinese restaurants that offer traditional Chinese cuisine. Not only is the dish easy to make, it is fragrant, clean, and flavorful. Perfect for any occasion!

Chinese Steamed Whole Fish with Ginger and Scallion

2 inch knob of ginger (, peeled and julienned (about 2 TBSP/ ½ ounce))

onion

Tablespoon kosher salt (,

cilantro (, roughly chopped (optional))

Tablespoon water

Tablespoon oil (,

In your steaming setup, add about 1½ inch of water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat down to a simmer.*Refer to the post for DIY steaming setup ideas.*

While the water is heating, rinse the whole fish under water to remove any impurities or scales. If there&#039;s any bloodline left on the spine of the fish, scrape and rinse it off under water. Gently pat the fish dry with clean towels. It doesn&#039;t have to be completely dry, just as long there&#039;s no puddles of water.*Refer the the post for more detail and photo reference. Also, have your fish already descaled and gutted. You can usually have your butcher clean the fish for you.*

Lightly season both the interior and exterior of the fish with some salt. Place the fish on an oblong, heatproof dish and stuff the interior with ⅓ of the julienned ginger and sprinkle another ⅓ of the ginger on top of the fish.

Once the water is ready, place the plate of fish in your steamer and place the lid back on. Let the fish steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until you can easily cut through the fish cleanly with a spoon without much resistance and the fish looks flakey. *The cook time will vary with each fish, depending on the thickness and the size of the fish.*

While the fish is steaming, combine the soy sauce, hot water, and sugar. Stir until the sugar granules are dissolved. Set the sauce aside until the fish is done steaming.*Feel free to reduce the amount of hot water if you wish the sauce to be saltier. Also, if you really enjoy dishes with a lot of sauce, you can double the sauce recipe and the aromatics.*

Once the fish is done, carefully remove it from the pot. Heat the ¼ cup of oil in a pan until it just starts to smoke. While the oil is heating up, pour the sauce over the fish and top the fish with the remaining julienned ginger, thinly sliced green onions, and roughly chopped cilantro (optional).When the oil is hot and ready, carefully pour the oil over the ginger, green onion, and cilantro.

Garnish the fish with more fresh cilantro if you&#039;d like and enjoy it while it&#039;s hot with some steamed white rice!

These easy steamed fish parcels with Japanese seasoning are an ideal way to get kids in the kitchen

Teriyaki salmon parcels

tbsp low-salt soy sauce

tbsp clear honey

garlic clove, finely chopped

mirin (optional)

sunflower oil

long-stem broccoli

salmon fillets

ginger,

sesame oil (optional)

spring onions, toasted sesame seeds

KIDS: The writing in bold is for you. ADULTS: The rest is for you. Make the sauce and marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy, honey, garlic and mirin and set aside.

Cut out some squares of foil. Using scissors, cut out 4 squares of foil, each about 30cm square. Brush each piece of foil with a little oil and bring the edges of the foil up a little.

Fill your parcels. Place a couple of broccoli stems on each one, then sit a salmon fillet on top and scatter over the ginger.

Spoon over the sauce. Spoon the sauce over each salmon fillet and drizzle with a little sesame oil, if you like.

Close the parcels. Fold over the edges of the foil together to seal and place the parcels on a baking sheet. Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead.

Cook the parcels. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Get your child to place the parcels in the oven for 15-20 mins, but ensure an adult removes them, then leave to stand for a few mins. Serve each parcel on a plate and let each person open it themselves. Serve with spring onions and sesame seeds for scattering over, and some rice on the side.

Steaming fresh 'moules' make the perfect sharing bowl - flavour with sweet cider, herbs and garlic

Steamed mussels with cider, spring onions & cream

live mussel

butter

spring onions

garlic

cider

thyme

milliliters single cream

bread

Wash the mussels in a colander to remove any dirt and grit. Pick through them, removing any stringy ‘beards’ from the shells. If any of the mussels are slightly open, tap them on the work surface to see if they close (which means they are still alive) and discard any that remain open.

Melt the butter in a large heavy-based saucepan. Sauté the spring onions and garlic over a high heat for 1 min before pouring in the cider or perry. Add the thyme and the mussels, cover and cook for 3-4 mins or until the mussels start to open. Add the cream, season and stir in the parsley.

Divide the mussels between bowls. Pour over the sauce and any spring onions left in the pan. Serve with crusty bread to mop up the juices/.
