How Do I Steam Fish ?

The most famously popular animal protein you can practice steam cooking with is fish ! And it makes sense: Most fish have delicate, flaky flesh that gets easily damaged on a grill. And although I enjoy grilled salmon once in a while, I am not too fond of getting heavy metals like aluminum in my nutrition. Most of the time, and especially when I have little time to cook, I steam it. And it is much easier and tastier this way. Not only do I not want additional heavy metals in my fish, but I’d rather get LESS heavy metals in my fish, if I can. Heard about mercury in fish, especially in large fishes up the food chain like tuna? That’s the one I really don’t want. Well, the good news is, steaming fish gives it a good steam bath.

You will marvel at the crunchiness of the vegetables, and at the delectable layer of mashed cauliflower and potatoes. I made this dish dairy free by replacing butter with extra virgin olive oil, and make the grated cheese only optional. Make it with ground beef or a 50 /50 mix of beef and venison, add plenty of pepper, you will enjoy it, guaranteed. Make it with the Vitaliseur steam cooker and you will speed the process, boost taste intensity and nutrient density of your meal considerably.
