Fish and fennel
Tip
If you prefer rice instead of mashed potatoes with this meal, add to simmering basket, wash and rinse rice first, then top the water up to 1000 grams of water and extend steaming time by 5mins to 25mins.
You can use any type of fish that would suit this recipe and vegetable mix. I prefer atlantic salmon or barramundi but have tried it with gurnard and flathead before and liked that too. Adjust steaming time to size of fish fillets. You can always take the fish out earlier than the veges and keep warm in thermo server.
If the fish is not fully cooked after 20mins of steaming, take out the vegetables and transfer into thermo server and steam the fish another 5mins. Then check again. The potatoes can stay in simmering basket during this process.
Sliced carrots are an additional vegetable to give this recipe some more colour and texture. You can experiment with others.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
