Steamed Fish with Lemon Dressing

Steaming is one of the gentlest ways to cook fish, and it leaves tilapia, cod, or snapper tender enough to flake apart with a fork the moment it hits the plate.

Because the fish cooks with nothing but steam, the only fat in this dish comes from a tablespoon of olive oil whisked into the dressing — a choice that keeps saturated fat low and fits neatly into a heart-healthy routine. Garlic and lemon juice do most of the flavor work, so there's no need to lean on extra salt.

Spoon the dressing over the fish right before serving and pair it with whole grains or steamed vegetables for a complete dinner.
