"Have you tried fish with edamame beans? This is inspired by my grandmas dinner staple of sautéed fish with edamame in China. A fancish and fun dinner ready in 15 min! Use guacamole instead of fresh avocado to save even more time."

  • Step 2/5

    Warm the tortilla: Heat a non-stick skillet for 1 min. Put one tortilla in the pan and heat up each side for about 45 sec-1 min until the tortilla feels dryer and hardened. Repeat until all 3 tortilla are heated. OR, if you want to use oven it’s even better, warp them (up to 6 in one stack) in aluminum foil and to heat up at 350F for 10-12 min while doing next steps. Because I’m only making 3, I use the pan to do it quick and save energy.

  • Step 3/5

    Cook the “beans”: In the same nonstick pan (no need to wash), turn heat to medium and add canola or vegetable oil. Sauté the onion and edamame for 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and ground pepper.

  • Step 4/5

    Pan-fry the fish: Melt butter in the pan with medium-low heat, add minced garlic, then cook white fish 2-3 min each side. Season with more freshly ground nutmeg and pepper. Tip: you know it’s time to flip when looking from the side 40% - half of the fish turns from translucent to white.
