With our busy lives, once we go home, we just want to eat and sleep. Most of the time, when we do the grocery, we tend to buy those ready or pre-heated foods that we can just microwave for minutes. However, for some who still want the taste of home cooked meals and eating natural foods, fish is one of the easiest foods to cook. Actually there are different ways to cook fish and they are:
Fried
Who doesn’t know how to fry a fish? Just simply put it in a frying pan and it’s your choice if you want to marinate it first or dip it into breadcrumbs or batter.
Grilled
To do this, of course you’ll need a grill, either electric or charcoal. Make sure that the grill is clean too. Grease with olive oil or butter and then start grilling. If you’re using thin fillets of fish, you can use a thick foil to prevent it from sticking. Don’t over cook the fish.
Steamed
If you’re a fan of Asian recipes, you can buy those steamers made from bamboo and then some coconut leaves. Clean the fish and then add some tomatoes and onions inside the belly and wrap it with the leaf then steam. Place the steamer over simmering water and keep a close eye on it. It's done when it flakes easily. This is a great way to have a healthy dinner.
Broiling
serves as one of the most accepted ways to cook fish because it gives your fish it’s nice crust and seals in seasonings. To begin broiling, just lightly brush fish with olive oil, pepper and a bit of salt and then place it in single layer on a well greased broiler pan. Broil 7-10 cm (3-4 inches) from the preheated unit. Baste during cooking or squeeze lemon for flavor.
Crock-Pot
this method will surely save you time and you can experiment different slow cooker recipes using of course the crock-pot. These cookers often have high and low heat thermostat settings to choose from. With fish recipes, it is often advisable to add the fish toward the end of cooking time so not to over cook it. For a simple yet healthy recipe you can simply start off by greasing the crock-pot and then put salt and pepper on the fish to taste.
Micro waved
It may seem weird at first but there is nothing wrong with cooking fish with a microwave oven just as long as you know how to cook it properly. If the fish is already fillet with the same size, just set the timer depending on how done you want the fish to be. If it’s in a foil and is relatively large in size, you can cook the half part first and then turn it midway, this way both sides have been cooked the same way.
Baking
may be the easiest way to cook fish simply because all you need to do is season the fish to your taste and follow any recipe that you like.
Whatever way you want to cook your fish, it’s important to check your ingredients first. No matter how great a recipe is, nothing is compared to the taste of fresh ingredients.
