salmon filet recipe

Grilling is a good way of cooking small whole fish or fillets. If you are using whole fish, slash the skin on both sides a few times and brush with melted butter or olive oil. Baste the fish during cooking and turn it halfway through. You might like to wrap the fish in foil with olive oil, herbs, and lemon juice before placing it on the grill.

Usually I catch my own fish to cook, but occasionally I go and buy in from the store. There are many things to keep in mind when buying and cooking fish. Below are some tips for you to remember...

* 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.

* When Grilling Fish, it should be grilled with high, indirect heat.

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

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