- Turn off and leave covered. The heat will continue cooking the vegetables, but the vegetables will not be overcooked.
- While the vegetables steam, chop the fish fillets. Season with the ingredients.
- Note: You can also season the fish before you start cooking so the fish can marinate in the seasoning.

- Allow to simmer until the onion is translucent.
- Push aside and add the flour. Quickly mix the oil and flour together and then the rest of the ingredients.
- Then pour in the milk.
- Add the fish and leave to simmer. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat when the fish is cooked through.
- The liquid will thicken also.
- When the fish is cooked, quickly remove fish and sauce and transfer to a baking dish.
- Add the steamed vegetables over the fish.
- Lightly toss together. Serve as a main dish or as a side.
