Recipe tips

If you don't have a steamer, wrap the fish in baking paper and place on a wire rack over a baking tray. Add a little boiling water to the tray and cover with foil. Then cook in the oven at 200°C/gas mark 6, for 8-10 minutes.
You can cook any dish using this method, but if you use whole fish or thick steaks you will need to increase the cooking time.
