Whether you fancy testing some exotic tilapia fish recipes or perhaps a delicious baked catfish recipe, you might think that baking fish is easy. It is indeed an uncomplicated way of cooking fish but there are a few tips and tricks you should know, to guarantee your baked fish recipes turn out great.

You can bake whole fish, fish fillets or steaks and seafood in the oven. Baking fish cooks it quickly at a high temperature.

Baking is a very popular method for cooking fish but a lot of people worry about their fish drying out in the oven. If you leave it cooking for even a few minutes too long, the fish might turn out dry. Fish contains natural oil and if you cook it too long, this oil is removed. You need to check the fish quite often while is cooking and know how long to cook it and at what temperature. Also, remember that fish continues to cook a bit more after you have taken it out of the oven.

Choosing and Preparing Your Fish

When you purchase a fish, there are a few things to look out for here are just a few. The gills should be red or pink and the eyes should appear bright, clear and be slightly protruding. If the gills are gray and the eyes are pink, cloudy, or sunken, it is stale and you should choose a different fish.

Whether you are shopping for fish for a tasty baked cod dish or delicious tilapia fish recipes, the same rules apply. If the fish is very fresh, your recipe will turn out better.

You must defrost the fish well to get the best results from the fish recipes. Frozen fish is just as nutritious as fresh fish and you can keep fish frozen for up to several months. You should defrost the fish for 8 to 12 hours on one of the lowest shelves in the refrigerator.

If you want to defrost it more quickly, you can place the fish in a bowl of cold water with 3 to 4 tablespoons of salt. Then it will defrost in a couple hours. If you have fresh or defrosted fish in the refrigerator, it ought to be used within 24 hours for the best fish recipe results.

You might like to soak your fish in water, depending what kind of fish you are using, with a little vinegar before baking it. The fish will be more tender, sweeter and hold its shape better. Alternatively, you can marinate fish fillets in lemon and salt before baking for easier handling, firmer flesh, and a fresh taste.

How to Get the Best Results from Baked Fish Recipes

Fish contains natural oils so it is not necessary to add fat or oil before baking. These natural oils will keep the fish moist as long as you do not overcook it. To make sure the fish remains moist while cooking, you might want to top it with some thinly sliced vegetables or seasoned breadcrumbs. There are plenty of tilapia fish recipes, which use vegetables or breadcrumbs to add texture and taste. Alternatively, you can brush some oil or melted butter over the top of the fish before cooking.

When baking fish recipes, the general rule is to bake the fish for 10 minutes per inch of its thickness. Most baked fish recipes call for a temperature of 450C. You will need to turn the fish halfway through its cooking time unless it is less than an inch thick.

To make sure fillets cook evenly, tuck any thin ends underneath. Cooking times can be affected by the density of your fish. You know the fish is ready when it is 145F internally, when the flesh is opaque all the way through or when you can flake it easily with a fork at its thickest point.

To stop fish from sticking to the baking dish and breaking up when you are trying to get it out, you can bake fish on a bed of onions, celery, or both. This also adds extra flavor to your baked fish recipe.
