Easy Perfect Fish Recipe and Meal Plan Monday

fish

Easy Fish Recipe One of my family’s favorite meals lately, this is my easy Fish recipe  in one pot. The white fish  is steamed cooked on top of a Pearl Couscous, mushrooms, onions and veggies.  They fish is tender, healthy, and tastes amazing.  I use my Ninja MC701 Multi Cooker 3 in 1 Cooking System
I used Basa fish which is a Asia version of cod.   My brother works for food distributor and is teaching me how the classification of fish is not as you would think. White Fish= a fisheries term referring to the flesh of many types of fish Any white colored fish can be called White Fish,  so ask what is the white fish. (from cod, white fish, monk fish, basa, catfish,  pollack, sea bass, and more)

The other trick making it amazing is the Israel Pearl Couscous it is bigger then normal sandish couscous, (my husband hates the sandlike couscous).  The pearls absorb the flavor and is like a toasted pasta.  I used this one, I found it at Target in the ethnic food isle.pearl couscous

I found the Basa at the local Asian Markets Fish counter. It was reasonable priced at $4.99 lb,  the fish was thick and mild.   I highly recommend going to an Asia market for fish.  I have found it to be fresh, better priced then typical grocery stores. I try to go to an Asia Market every 2 weeks.  My kids like to go, see the fish, and it exposes them to new food.
