Prepare Baking Dish: Arrange the fish steaks in an 8x8x2-inch baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced for proper cooking.

Cover and Microwave: Cover the dish with vented clear plastic wrap to allow steam to escape. Cook on 100% power (high) for 4 to 8 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. This ensures the fish is thoroughly cooked and retains its moisture.

Add Milk: Stir in the skim milk all at once, ensuring it combines well with the dry ingredients.

Microwave Sauce: Cook the mixture, uncovered, on high for 1 1/2 to 3 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring after 1 minute, then every 30 seconds. This step ensures the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
-
Incorporate Vegetables: Stir in the mushrooms and carrot, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
-
Heat Through: Microwave for an additional 30 to 60 seconds or until the vegetables are heated through, infusing the sauce with their flavors.

Add Lemon Peel: Stir in the lemon peel, which adds a zesty brightness to the sauce, enhancing its overall flavor profile.
