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.
Fish is not only healthy but tasty as well. Most people think that preparing a fish meal is difficult. Also, there is the concern of being able to purchase those that are fresh. Using fish as a main ingredient in a dish is not complicated.
I will give here some tips that would be helpful when you will be buying and cooking fish.
* In thawing frozen fish, slowly thaw in the fridge for 24 hours or let the wrapped fish be run under cold water not at room temperature.
* 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.
* You can always cook it some more if it is undercooked, but you can't uncook it if it is overcooked.
