salmon filet recipe

One of the most popular methods of cooking fish is to pan fry it in a shallow amount of oil. White fish should be coated before it is pan fried in order to protect the delicate flesh from the heat. A coating of seasoned white or wholemeal flour or a mixture of flour, beaten egg and fine bread crumbs is sufficient.

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...

* For the best possible pan-frying results, take extra care to ensure that the butter or oil is hot and that the fish is well coated with batter.

* Allow extra time if fish will be baked while packed in an aluminum foil and allow extra time for the penetration of the heat.

* Be careful not to over stuff the fish if you are using a breadcrumb stuffing, because breadcrumbs expand when cooking.
