(227

(75

2

(30

(15

1
teaspoon

(3

1
tablespoon

(8
g)
coconut oil spray
Directions: 
  1. Trim fish and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly spray one side of fish with coconut oil spray.
  2. Preheat pan over medium-high heat. When several drops of water sprinkled on pan skitter and dissipate, approximately 5 - 7 minutes, place fish (with side that has been sprayed with oil down) in pan in a single layer. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes, until browned. Carefully remove fish from pan and set aside on clean dish.
  3. Add sliced ginger, snow peas and half of scallions to pan and sauté for 3 - 4 minutes.
  4. Place fish back in pan, uncooked side down, on top of sautéed vegetables. Add any juices from fish.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, sugar and cornstarch. Stir together. Pour sauce over fish.
  6. Place cover on pan. When Vapo-Valve™ begins to click steadily, reduce heat to low and cook for 5 - 7 minutes until fish is cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on thickness and type of fish being used.
  7. Remove cover and add remaining chopped scallions. Serve fish warm with sauce and vegetables.
Tips: 
  • Substitute snow peas for frozen peas; add to pan in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  • Serve fish and sauce with steamed rice, soba noodles or quinoa.
