Over the years, I have discovered that the best way to enjoy river fishes is to have it steamed. It is easy and not fussy in preparation and it will be ready in 25 minutes.

I've never steamed fish before, but this recipe made it easy. The tilapia turned out great - tender and flavorful. I served it with steamed broccoli and brown rice for a healthy and delicious meal.
