Smoked Shrimp Recipes - Fish Cooking Made Easy

If you are using fillets or small, whole fish, grilling is another cooking method. If your fish are whole, make slashes through the skin on each side of the fish and brush it with olive oil or butter. Turn the fish over halfway through cooking and baste it. You can also wrap the fish in foil with herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil before placing it on the grill.


Because fish contains natural oils, it is not compulsory to add oil or fat before baking. To ensure the fish stays moist, you might like to brush a little oil or butter on top of it before cooking or top the fish with seasoned breadcrumbs or thinly sliced vegetables. There are many fish recipes, which make use of vegetables or breadcrumbs to add flavor and texture.

I have been cooking fish since I was a child with my Grandfather. I remember going out early in the morning to catch some salmon for the evening dinner. I found a great recipe book that has a lot of the same recipes that he used to use.

Here is a Trout Recipe that I enjoy all the time. Give it a try...

4 teaspoons olive oil
8 rosemary sprigs
4 trout
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
A few lemons

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Cut 4 sheets of heavy-duty foil about 12-inches square. Spoon olive oil onto the dull side of foil and brush it. Put a sprig of rosemary in the cavity of each fish and salt and pepper generously.

Put each trout on a piece of foil and top with a 1/2 of the round slices of lemon and another sprig of rosemary. Fold the foil loosely over the fish and crimp the edges together tightly. Place the packets on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.

Have lemon for sprinkling on the fish.


Here are some cooking and buying tips to get you started:

* Olive oil or a combination of oil and butter will give the fish a tasty crispness.
* Try not to thaw frozen fish completely before cooking, or it may make them very dry and mushy.
* It is better to undercook the fish a bit than overcooking it.
* If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning on the grill.
* Never use water from close proximity marinas, municipal or industrial discharges, always use potable water.
