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.
