    Cooking Tips for Easy Fish Recipes

    How do you keep fish from sticking to the pan?

    Use a well-seasoned or non-stick skillet, heat the pan before adding oil, and ensure the oil is hot before gently placing the fish in the pan.

    What is the proper internal temperature for cooked fish?

    The FDA recommends cooking fish to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) until it's opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

    Can you overcook fish in a slow cooker?

    Yes, fish can overcook in a slow cooker if left for too long. It's best to add fish towards the end of cooking, especially if it's a delicate variety.

    What are good seasonings for fish?

    Classic seasonings include salt, pepper, lemon, dill, parsley, garlic, and butter. For more adventurous flavors, try cajun spices, soy sauce, or curry blends.

    Is it better to bake fish covered or uncovered?

    Covering fish can create a steaming effect and help it stay moist. Uncovered baking can lead to a crisper exterior. The choice depends on the desired texture.
