Baking Fish / Baked Fish Steaks Recipe
Most fish are suitable for baking - whole or
in fillets, cutlets or steaks. Lean fish, in particular, benefit from some
protection to prevent them from drying out: choose recipes that include a
stuffing or coating or bake them in a little liquid or sauce, which can
also be served with the fish. All of these add extra flavor to the fish
too.
Cooking in foil or paper parcels is suitable
for many fish, both small whole ones and pieces (fillets, cutlets or
steaks). This seals in moisture, so the effect is similar to steaming. A
good rule of thumb to calculate cooking time for fish is 10 minutes in a
425oF/220oC/Gas 7 oven for each 1 inch (2.5 cm),
measured at the thickest part.
