Total Time: 16 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 6 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 lb salmon (as stated above, i used tilapia, 3/4-inches thick) or 1 lb grouper (as stated above, i used tilapia, 3/4-inches thick) or 1 lb other fish fillet, 1 1/2-inches thick (as stated above, i used tilapia, 3/4-inches thick)
• 1 (8 ounce) package fresh sugar snap peas
• 1 cup sliced shiitake mushroom
• 1 tablespoon peeled minced fresh ginger
• 1/2 cup pre-shredded carrot (whoever invented these is a genius)
• 4 scallions, both and light green parts, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• cooked rice, for serving

Recipe

• 1 cut the fish into 1-inch wide strips and place in a 2-qt. microwave-safe dish. scatter the sugar snap peas, mushrooms, ginger, carrots and scallions evenly over the fish. it's going to look really pretty so take a moment to admire it.
• 2 combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce and vinegar in a small bowl and then slowly drizzle over the fish and vegetables. cover the dish with plastic wrap, folding back one corner to allow the steam to escape.
• 3 place the dish in the microwave and cook on high power until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are crisp tender, 6 minutes. stop every 2 minutes to gently stir and reposition the fish so that the outside pieces are moved to the inside. ***i didn't really believe that the fish and veggies would be cooked in 6 minutes but they were and they were perfect. i set the mwave for 2 minutes and just gently rearranged the fish each time (3 times).
• 4 serve the fish and veggies with the cooked rice.
