Steamed Red Snapper, Chinese Style

INGREDIENTS

1-6 ounce fillet of Red snapper

DIRECTIONS

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and top with a bamboo or stainless steel steamer. Make sure you have a top that fits the bamboo or stainless steel steamer.

Season the fish with salt and pepper. Place the red snapper in a steamer and steam for approximately 6-8 minutes (depending on thickness of fish or until it flakes).
