Answer 3

While you don't actually steam them they can be cooked in the microwave. *Nuke* on high for about a minute and then dip them in garlic butter. My brother, who is a chef, does this at home when he is too lazy to make them the "right" way.

Answer 4

in a plastic or microwable pyrex, add just a little bit of light butter (not necessary) but it gives flavor. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to the fish, put it in the pyrex, add a little water, tjen cover it with plastic foil, and cook it for about 5-10 min. Or be checking it until it is white, and tender. You can add onion, tomatoes or pepper, to give it more flavor!!! Enjoy!
