When cooking fish, it's easy to see the degree of doneness. The meat turns white and loses transparency. Just as with a steak, when the fish appears done on one side, you just flip it over until the fish is done, right through to the center. Test with a fork. If you can cut the fish easily with the fork and there are no transparent or fork-heavy sections, the fish is done.
These easy tips should give confidence to prepare fish dinners at home. Fish is a delicious source of protein and should be included regularly in a healthy diet.
* To prevent overcooking, you'll need to pull it out slightly before it's done.
* You can place fish directly on the grill, but if you do this, use a firm fleshed fish, like grouper, tuna, swordfish, or salmon.
* 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.
* For moister broiled fish, first steam or poach the fish until close to being done and then brown it under the broiler.
