Steamed Cod Fillet

Steamed cod fillet is a healthful and quick-cooking dinner/lunch option. It is healthy because you cook the fish without butter or oil.

This is a very simple recipe and a breeze to cook. It is especially wonderful because of its ingredients. With just 12 items, it packs great flavor with hardly any fuss.

It’s also a dish that can be found on a lot of home dinner tables. That’s when you know it’s not just easy, it’s good.

Tips for Steamed Cod Fillet

• Do not over steam the fish or it will break easily.
