Pescado Sudado / Steamed Fish Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 4 cups of water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

2. 2

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Slice the onion and tomatoes into thin slices. Mince the garlic and chop the cilantro.

3. 3

   Marinate the Fish

   In a bowl, combine the fish fillets with lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Allow to marinate for about 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Layer the Ingredients

   In a steaming dish, layer the onion slices at the bottom, followed by the marinated fish fillets, and then top with tomato slices and cilantro.

5. 5

   Steam the Fish

   Fill a pot with water and bring it to a simmer. Place the steaming dish on top (make sure it doesn't touch the water) and cover. Steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

6. 6

   Serve

   Fluff the rice and serve it alongside the steamed fish, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
