recipe for grilled salmon

Whatever fish you caught, a good recipe and proper cooking will for sure enhance the catch. Take time to prepare for cooking, a badly cooked fish will no doubt spoil your day. Remember the first rule of cooking, don't overcook your fish.

Americans tend to eat twice as many fish dinners at restaurants as they do at home largely because they are unsure how to properly prepare fish. Here are some easy and common sense tips about cooking fish at home.

* It is better to undercook the fish a bit than overcooking it.

* It is best to grill, broil, steam or poach oily fish so that their natural fats can drain while they are cooked.

* Another test to use for doneness is to check the meat with a knife to see if it is firm and beginning to separate or flake.

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