Edible Chrysanthemum Steamed Snapper

There is only one assurance for the lack of inspiration to put together entirely-new-and-creative dishes: the opportunity to revisit and redo some of my older recipes, and perhaps give them new life.

Today, the tofu (plant or vegetarian protein) in this recipe Edible Chrysanthemum Greens Steamed Tofu is replaced by snapper fillet. Not only an easy dish to prepare, this dish is also healthy and nutritious. Do not expect strong and robust flavors; but if you are into the light and fresh flavors of steamed fish complemented by the flowery scent of Edible Chrysanthemum (Shungiku), this is it.

Handfuls of Edible Chrysanthemum Greens, rinse to clean
1/2 tsp of toasted sesame oil drizzled over the fish before serving
