Steamed fish in a steamer

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make steamed fish in a steamer? Prepare the necessary products according to the list. Wash the lemon and dry it with a napkin. Gut the fish and peel off the scales. I have trout, but you can take absolutely any fish or fish fillet.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut off the heads and tails. Rinse the carcasses under running water and dry them with paper napkins. Put the heads and tails in the freezer. In the future, you can cook excellent fish broth or cook fish soup from them.

3. Step 3:

   

   Make incisions on each carcass as in the photo. Sprinkle the trout inside and out with salt, ground peppers and a mixture of Italian herbs. A set of spices can be any to your taste. Rub the seasonings over the entire surface of the fish and leave to marinate at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Next comes the main stage of cooking. Fish can be steamed in different ways. I used a mantovark (which is, in fact, a steamer). Pour a small amount of water into a saucepan, add a peeled whole onion and a bay leaf. Wait for the boiling point.

6. Step 5:

   

   Put the fish on a grill, pre-greased with vegetable oil, and place in a steamer. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat under the pan to moderate and leave the fish until cooked. How long to cook fish in a steamer? It all depends on the type of fish, its size, on the equipment and the plate.

7. Step 6:

   

   I had the fragrant trout ready in 20-30 minutes. Your cooking time may differ from mine. You can check the readiness by making an incision on the carcass. If you see clear juice, then the fish is ready. An important point is not to overdo the fish on the grill, otherwise it will become dry.

   Sprinkle the finished fish carcasses with lemon juice and serve. It is delicious both hot and cold.
