    Pour water into the steamer. Place the fillets on the steamer rack. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place one sprig of fresh thyme on each fillet, and cover the steamer. When the water begins to boil, steam for about 4 minutes. Do not overcook. Remove the thyme sprigs. Serve immediately with the sauce spooned over the fillets.

I liked this. The vinaigrette is especially delicious. The steamed fish came out perfectly after 4 minutes. The only thing I will try differently this next time is seasoning the fish some time in advance so that that flavors penetrate the flesh. All in all, this is very simple recipe, and the vinaigrette will make your tastebuds dance!

I liked this, as did my guests. However, I would prefer a less pronounced rice vinegar flavor. Next time I will reduce to to 2.5 tablespoons. The fish can go from perfectly cooked at internal temperature of 120 degrees to overcooked in less than a minute. I will pay closer attention to doneness next time.
