Basa Fish Recipe - Fish Cooking Made Easy

One of the most popular methods of cooking fish is to pan fry it in a shallow amount of oil. White fish should be coated before it is pan fried in order to protect the delicate flesh from the heat. A coating of seasoned white or wholemeal flour or a mixture of flour, beaten egg and fine bread crumbs is sufficient.

Poaching usually gives excellent results. To poach fish, you need to add herbs, seasoning and a thickener such as cream. You can use this as a sauce to serve with the fish. Steaming is easy and suits whole fish, steaks, or fillets. To steam fish, put it in a steamer over boiling water and make sure you use a tight-fitting lid.

1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley

Preheat oven. Lightly coat the rack of a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray.

* When pan frying fish, fill a skillet with 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch of oil and preheat to 350 degrees.
* Cook the fish over medium to hot heat.
* Each serving should be about 6-8 ounces for fillets or steaks, and 8-12 ounces for whole fish.
* When cleaning fish, avoid rough treatment because wounds in the flesh can allow the spread of bacteria.
