Instructions

Marinate fillets in a medium bowl and set aside.

I used my bamboo steamer over 1 1/2 of water brought to boil on high heat. Layed the romaine lettuce on the bottom of the basketand the marinated fillets on top. Covered the baskets and steamed the fillets for about 7-10 minutes. 

Carefully remove from basket when done. Plate and serve. 

Combine salad in medium bowl and serve with your fillet and steamed veggies. 

Enjoy!

Bon Apetit!
