This product has its own characteristics that you should remember before putting it in the pan.
In a frying pan
A very simple secret to a juicy and delicious steak. Dry the fish fillet with paper towels, then sprinkle with salt and spices.
Place the pieces in a non-stick or stainless steel frying pan, well greased with oil.
Do not move the fish for the first 3 minutes. Wait until a golden crust forms on the bottom. Then turn over and fry for another 2-3 minutes.
On the grill
In this case, there is one important nuance: fish that are too soft fall between the bars of the grate.
To avoid this, first place lemon slices on the grill and then place the fish pieces on top. This way, the product will not only retain its structure, but will also acquire a bright taste.
In the oven
Chefs advise always to bake fish on parchment paper, skin side down. This rule helps to get a crispy crust and avoid burning.
Thin fillets cook in the oven for about 10 minutes on average, thicker pieces – about 20 minutes. Readiness is checked with a fork: if the fish is opaque and easily separated, then it is ready to serve.
In a saucepan
There is a trick to cooking fish. To prepare a tasty dish, the pieces are placed in broth or heated water. Oil is added to the liquid. Olive oil is ideal. Cook over low heat until the fish becomes soft - about 20 minutes.
