Know the Different Ways to Cook your Fish

By Michelle Ann Gelder


Many a cook has discovered that fish can overcook in no time. If there's one piece of advice for cooks who want to turn out peerless fish, it's this: Once it's on the grill or in the pan, leave it alone! Leaving fish undisturbed for two to four minutes helps the protein develop a nice crust. This crust makes it easy to turn the fish over.

Fried Who doesn't know how to fry a fish? Just simply put it in a frying pan and it's your choice if you want to marinate it first or dip it into breadcrumbs or batter.

Grilled To do this, of course you'll need a grill, either electric or charcoal. Make sure that the grill is clean too. Grease with olive oil or butter and then start grilling. If you're using thin fillets of fish, you can use a thick foil to prevent it from sticking. Don't over cook the fish.

1. Broiling is the process of cooking fish under an open flame or electric element at high temperatures. To begin with, just lightly brush fish with olive oil, pepper and a bit of salt and then place it in single layer on a well greased broiler pan. Broil 7-10 cm (3-4 inches) from the preheated unit. Baste during cooking or squeeze lemon for flavor.

Broiling serves as one of the most accepted ways to cook fish because it gives your fish it's nice crust and seals in seasonings. To begin broiling, just lightly brush fish with olive oil, pepper and a bit of salt and then place it in single layer on a well greased broiler pan. Broil 7-10 cm (3-4 inches) from the preheated unit. Baste during cooking or squeeze lemon for flavor.

Crock-Pot this method will surely save you time and you can experiment different crock-pot recipes using of course the crock-pot. These cookers often have high and low heat thermostat settings to choose from. With fish recipes, it is often advisable to add the fish toward the end of cooking time so not to over cook it. For a simple yet healthy recipe you can simply start off by greasing the crock-pot and then put salt and pepper on the fish to taste.

If you don't have much time consider getting a crock pot to make your dishes as crock pot recipes are really delicious and so easy to make, not to mention the time saving factors.

Baking may be the easiest way to cook fish simply because all you need to do is season the fish to your taste and follow any recipe that you like.

One of the most important parts of cooking healthy food is the quality and the freshness of the fish or vegetables. Adding flavor can be easy afterwards. No need to spend money by going to health restaurants for these recipes because anyone can do it.
