How To Make Swordfish And Vegetables With The Microwave Gourmet
This swordfish steak is the ultimate in healthy and delicious eating-- and thanks to Barbara Kafka, aka The Microwave Gourmet, it's supremely quick and easy to make.
Step 1: You Will Need:
- 9 inch (23 cm) microwaveable square dish or pie plate
- Microwave-safe plastic wrap
Step 2: Prepare The Vegetables
Chop and measure vegetables. The slow cooking vegetables should weigh approximately 12 oz (340 g) combined.
Step 3: Arrange The Fish And Vegetables
Put the swordfish steaks in a 9 inch (23 cm) microwaveable square dish or pie plate. Arrange the slow cooking vegetables around them toward the outside of the dish. Pile the peppers and scallions on top of the fish, with the whites of the scallions toward the outside.
Step 4: Cover And Cook
Cover the dish completely with microwaveable plastic wrap. A tight seal is necessary to for the fish to cook evenly and retain moisture. Make sure the food is not touching the wrap. Cook in microwave for eight minutes. When done, prick plastic wrap to let steam escape (careful!) Serve fish side-by-side with vegetables, spooning some of the liquid onto the fish. Season with salt, pepper or lemon if desired.
