fish tacos recipe

Oven baking and roasting give great results and suit whole fish or fillets. Add oil or butter, seasoning, herbs and white wine to the fish, in an ovenproof dish. For very tender and moist fish, you can cook the fish "en papillote", which is in sealed paper or foil. This means the fish will cook it its own steam.

A lot of times people like to add lemon or limejuice, fresh herbs and white wine to the foil parcel before cooking, for more flavors. To braise fish, you place it on some sauted vegetables in an ovenproof dish. Pour over white wine and bouillon, put a lid on the dish, and bake it for 20 minutes or so.

A freshly caught fish can be cooked in a thousand and one ways. Any fisherman worth his salt has his own unique way of cooking a freshly caught trout, salmon or whatever fish he caught. So fisherman all across the country has been handed down methods of cooking fish. Here are some tips to get the best out of your fish.

* If you don't oil your grill, the fish will stick, and break apart when you try to remove it.

* When pan frying fish, fill a skillet with 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch of oil and preheat to 350 degrees.

* Allow extra time if fish will be baked while packed in an aluminum foil and allow extra time for the penetration of the heat.
