Steamed Fish Without a Steamer? Easy DIY Method!

Place a metal cooking ring (or a large cookie cutter, or even a few balls of aluminum foil) in the center of a deep pot. This keeps your plate above the water. Pour in about 2 inches of water—just enough so it doesn’t touch the plate you’ll use for the fish. Set a heat-safe plate (smaller than your pot) on top of the ring or foil balls. Make sure it’s steady and can hold your fish. Bring the water to a low boil over medium-high heat. When you see steady steam, add your seasoned fish to the plate, leaving space between pieces. Cover the pot and steam for 5-7 minutes (thicker cuts may need up to 12). Fish is done when it’s opaque and flakes easily. This method keeps the fish moist and flavorful, and you don’t need any fancy equipment! #SteamedFish #KitchenHacks #HealthyCooking #Food #Cooking
