Ingredients
| 4 | catfish or tilapia fillets (about 4 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry |
| 1⁄8 | teaspoon salt |
| 1⁄8 | teaspoon pepper |
| 1⁄3 | cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt |
| 1 | teaspoon red hot-pepper sauce (Louisiana-style preferred) |
| 1⁄2 | teaspoon paprika |
| 1⁄2 | teaspoon Dijon mustard (lowest sodium available) |
| 1⁄8 | teaspoon garlic powder |
| 1⁄4 | cup minced fresh oregano (optional) |
Directions
- Heat a large pot fitted with a steamer basket placed over water on medium-high heat. Bring the water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the salt and pepper on both sides of the fish. Place the fish in the steamer basket. Steam, covered, for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
- While the fish is cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, hot-pepper sauce, paprika, mustard, and garlic powder.
- Transfer the fish to plates. Sprinkle with the oregano. Serve with the sauce.
Level 4: Pureed
In a food processor or blender, process the desired serving(s) until smooth. There should be no separation of liquid.
Level 5: Minced and Moist
Using a food processor, blender, or knife, process or cut the fish into pieces no more than 4 milliliters in size. The pieces should be moist and fit between the tines of a fork.
Level 6: Soft and Bite-Size
Using a knife, cut the fish into pieces that are no bigger than 1.5 x 1.5 centimeters (about the size of your thumbnail). To test for softness, press down on the fish using the back of a fork. The fish should remain squashed and not regain its shape.
Cook’s Tips
You can substitute 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried oregano for the fresh oregano. Just sprinkle it over the fish with the salt and pepper before steaming.
If you don’t have a steamer basket, you can use a small kitchen strainer or colander instead and place it over the water in the pot.
