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.
Usually I catch my own fish to cook, but occasionally I go and buy in from the store. There are many things to keep in mind when buying and cooking fish. Below are some tips for you to remember...
* Try not to thaw frozen fish completely before cooking, or it may make them very dry and mushy.
* 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.
* To thaw frozen fish or seafood, thaw slowly in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
* If you use very fresh fish, your recipe has more chance of being a great success.
* Allow extra time if fish will be baked while packed in an aluminum foil and allow extra time for the penetration of the heat.
