Microwave Diabetic Fish with Cool Cucumber Sauce
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 7 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 cucumber
- 1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
- 1 1/2 pounds fish fillets (thawed if frozen)
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Start by thawing the fish, if it’s frozen, to ensure even cooking. Then, gently turn under any thin edges of the fish fillets for a neat presentation.
-
Arrange Fish: Take a 12 x 7½ x 2-inch baking dish (if you have a low-wattage microwave, opt for an 8x8x2-inch baking dish) and arrange the fish fillets inside, ensuring that the thicker portions are toward the outer edges of the dish. This arrangement helps in uniform cooking.
-
Cover and Cook: Cover the baking dish with vented clear plastic wrap to allow steam to escape. Place it in the microwave and cook on 100% power (high) for 4 to 7 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so keep an eye on it. You’ll know the fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. For even cooking, give the dish a half-turn after 3 minutes.
-
Prepare the Sauce: While the fish is cooking, let’s whip up the cool cucumber sauce. In a small bowl, combine the diced cucumber, plain low-fat yogurt, mayonnaise, and prepared mustard. Stir until well mixed, and you’ll have a creamy and refreshing sauce ready to complement the fish perfectly.
-
Serve: Once the fish is cooked to perfection, serve it hot alongside the cool cucumber sauce. The contrast of warm, flaky fish with the cool and tangy sauce is simply delightful.
