salmon filet recipe

Baking is one of the most popular ways to cook fish but the problem a lot of people have is their fish drying out. If you leave the fish in the oven for as little as 2 minutes too long, this might dry it out. Dried out fish is actually when the fish oil is removed by allowing too much baking time. You have to be quite vigilant and check it often. Remember too that fish continues to cook once you have removed it from the oven.

Cooking fish and seafood can be easy if you know what you are doing, Here are some tips to help you buy and cook your fish.

* To prevent overcooking, you'll need to pull it out slightly before it's done.

* When baking fish, you want to use high heat, typically between 400 and 450 degrees.

* You can always cook it some more if it is undercooked, but you can't uncook it if it is overcooked.

* You can buy grill baskets made for grilling seafood - these help small pieces of fish from falling through the grill, and will help in grilling delicate fillets.

* Try not to thaw frozen fish completely before cooking, or it may make them very dry and mushy.
