Add snow peas and mushrooms. Cover and steam four to five minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork and vegetables are tender.

Cook's Notes: A 5 1/2 inch collapsible metal steamer, opened flat, works well in a large saucepan or deep skillet. When adding foods, cover and adjust heat to maintain water at vigorous boil. so the pan is filled continuously with steam. Steam can burn so remove the lid by tilting it away from your face. Use hot pads and remove food carefully. Check water level when steaming foods that require longer cooking times. If necessary, add boiling water to maintain steaming process.
Menu suggestion: Serve with a salad of assorted salad greens (Bibb, romaine, curly red or green lettuce) in individual salad bowls. Top with cucumber slices and fresh grapefruit segments. Serve the salad with your favorite reduced-calorie creamy cucumber or Italian salad dressing.
