Fish Dinner - Quick, Easy, Delicious

1. Take fish (4 fillets) out of the fridge. We used Mahi Mahi.

2. Toast one cup of buckwheat while bringing 2 cups water to boil in a kettle. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 cups water to buckwheat and cover. Steam for 20-25 minutes.

3. Make marinade. 1/2 cup soy sauce, 3 tbl apple cider vinegar, 2 tbl sesame oil, 4 tbl brown sugar, 3 sliced green onions, 2 cloves crushed garlic. Keep half for serving and marinade the fish in the other half.

4. Use what hot water is left in the kettle to start a pot for steaming fresh vegetables. We had broccoli florets and stems, and large chunk carrots.

5. Heat a pan, skillet or griddle on medium. Take fillets out of the marinade and discard the juices. Cook on one side until edges are cooked, flip over and cook on other side. Fish is done when it is no longer opaque in the center and flakes (separates) when pressed.

6. Plate the buckwheat and vegetables. Squirt with a bit of lemon juice. Plate the fish, top with a bit of sauce.

The whole family enjoyed this one. Hubby couldn't get over how good it was. I liked it best because it was quick, easy, and nutritious and delicious.
