seafood salad recipes

One of the easiest ways to cook fish is to bake it. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place the seasoned, coated fish onto a lightly oiled baking sheet or shallow baking pan. Bake the fish for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness. As with pan frying, the white fish is properly cooked when its color turns opaque and it begins to flake when a fork is inserted into the center.

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 the fish flakes too easily, it may be overcooked.

* In thawing frozen fish, slowly thaw in the fridge for 24 hours or let the wrapped fish be run under cold water not at room temperature.

* Be careful not to over stuff the fish if you are using a breadcrumb stuffing, because breadcrumbs expand when cooking.

* If you use very fresh fish, your recipe has more chance of being a great success.
