Gourmet Sauces For Fish Recipes - The Basics

The microwave oven can be used to cook a delicious fish dish. Use your favorite recipe for coating and seasoning and try to make the fillets even thickness for best results. Thinner sections of the fish can be folded under each other to help make the fillet an even thickness. Rotate the fish halfway through the cooking time if the microwave oven does not have a turntable. Let the fish stand for a few minutes to finish cooking. Use the color and flake tests to check if fully cooked.

Baking is one of the easiest ways to cook fish. Just follow the recipe instructions for cooking, covering, and standing times.

With the recent discoveries of the health benefits of the Omega Oils found in fish, I was looking for a great recipe guide to get me going. Have a look at the one I use on a weekly basis at home.

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.

Buying and Cooking your own fish at home can be fun and rewarding. Here are some easy and quick tips for you to keep in mind as you get going...

* If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning on the grill.
* Flour is often used as a coating for foods that are fried. Pieces of fish are often pan-fried with a flour coating, which develops a crisp, flavorful crust, and an interior that is tender flaky.
* If the fish has been properly cooked, the meat will appear opaque but will still be moist.
* Baking cooks fish quickly at a high temperature and you can bake fish fillets, steaks, whole fish, or seafood.
