Basa Fish Fillet Recipes - The Basics

Whatever fish you caught, a good recipe and proper cooking will for sure enhance the catch. Take time to prepare for cooking, a badly cooked fish will no doubt spoil your day. Remember the first rule of cooking, don't overcook your fish.



Avoid overcooking the fish because overcooking will cause it to taste dry and tough. White fish will change from a translucent color to an opaque color when cooked and will begin to flake when it is done. Fish that flakes too easily is an indication that it may be dry and overcooked.

There are so many benefits to eating fish on a weekly basis. Have a look a the link below to see some of my favorite recipes and how to prepare healthy meals for your family.

Fish can be prepared using almost any type of cooking method. From baking, steaming, frying, grilling, broiling, or slow cooking. When cooking fish, it is important not to overcook, which will result in dry and somewhat tasteless meat. A general rule is to cook a fish 10 minutes for each inch of thickness. (not be used for deep frying or microwaving fish) The fish should be cooked until it has reached an internal temperature of at least 145ºF.

Here is another one of my favorite fish recipes.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 pounds fresh or frozen halibut
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon of fresh tarragon, snipped or 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed tarragon
1/2 teaspooon paprika
A dash of pepper

Preheat oven to 450ºF.

Cut thawed fish into four portions, then pat dry and brush with cooking oil.

Stir together bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, tarragon, paprika and pepper. Dip fish into crumb mixture to coat both sides. Sprinkle any leftover crumb mixture on top.

Bake fish, uncovered for 8 to 12 minutes in a hot oven, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Do not turn over while baking.

I like to serve with fresh lemon wedges.

Fish is not only healthy but tasty as well. Most people think that preparing a fish meal is difficult. Also, there is the concern of being able to purchase those that are fresh. Using fish as a main ingredient in a dish is not complicated.

I will give here some tips that would be helpful when you will be buying and cooking fish.

* To thaw frozen fish or seafood, thaw slowly in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
* Increase cooking time when cooking fish that is frozen.
* For the best possible pan-frying results, take extra care to ensure that the butter or oil is hot and that the fish is well coated with batter.

* When baking fish, prepare the marinade, preheat the oven, and put the fish in for the prescribed amount of time. Be sure to check the fish often to ensure that it doesn't overcook.

* Olive oil or a combination of oil and butter will give the fish a tasty crispness.
