Fish cooks very well by micro wave as
it stays moist and the lingering sh
smells left in conventional ovens are
avoided.
When is sh cooked?
Fish is cooked when it akes easily
and becomes opaque.
For sh with a strong odour, eliminate
the smell after cooking by placing
600 ml (1 pt) of boiling water and
1 sliced lemon in a large bowl, cook on
300 W for 20 minutes. Wipe out oven
with a dry cloth.
Whole sh
If cooking 2 whole sh together,
they should be arranged head to tail
for even cooking. Large whole sh
must have the tail and head shielded
halfway through cooking with smooth
pieces of tin foil secured with cocktail
sticks.
Arranging
Thin llets of sh i.e. plaice, should be
rolled up prior to cooking to avoid
overcooking on the thinner outside
edge and tail. Fish steaks should be
arranged in a circle, thicker part to the
outside. Cover with cling lm or lid.
Liquid
Fresh sh should always be sprinkled
with 30 ml (2 tbsp) of lemon juice,
white wine or water. When cooking
frozen sh, add liquid as above for
even cooking. Do not sprinkle salt onto
sh before cooking as this may make
the sh dry.
Noise
During cooking, popping sounds may
be heard. This is due to moisture
trapped between the esh, particularly
with oily sh such as salmon and
mackerel. This can be minimised when
cooking if the skin and esh is pierced
several times with a cocktail stick.
