Healthy Ways to Cook Fish

Healthy ways to cook fish include:

• Baking

  - make shallow cuts along the top of the fish. Put into a greased dish and cover with foil. Flavor with herbs, lemon juice and olive oil. Bake at around 180�C and baste frequently.

• Shallow frying

  - dry and flour the fish. Place a small amount of oil or butter in the pan. Fry the fish at a medium heat.

• Grilling

  - cut slashes into whole fish to help the heat penetrate the flesh. Place fish on a preheated grill. Baste frequently.

• Poaching

  - not suitable for flaky varieties. Place fish in gently simmering stock. Whole fish should be placed in a pan of cold stock, which is then slowly brought up to a gentle simmer.

• Steaming

  - put fish in a steamer or on a plate over a saucepan containing gently boiling water. Cover.
