          How to Microwave Fish

          Instructions

          Precook any desired vegetables for 1 minute in your Easy Pod.  Rub selected seasoning over a fish filet, and place fish on top of vegetables.  Close the Easy Pod and cook until fish is flaky.  A 1-inch fish filet will take about 4-6 minutes to cook, depending on the strength of your microwave.  Check after 2-3 minutes to avoid over-cooking, adding time as needed
