Fish
Fish cooks very well by MICROWAVE as it stays very moist.
LIQUID- Fresh or frozen fish should always be sprinkled with 30 ml (2 tbsp) of lemon juice, white
wine or water for even cooking.
Do not sprinkle salt onto fish before cooking as this may make the fish dry.
WHEN IS FISH COOKED?- Fish is cooked when it flakes easily and becomes opaque. For fish
with a strong odour, eliminate the smell after cooking by placing 600 ml (1pt) of boiling water and
1 sliced lemon in a large bowl and cook on SIMMER MICROWAVE for 20 mins. Wipe out oven
with a dry cloth.
ARRANGING- If cooking 2 whole fish together, they should be arranged head to tail for even
cooking. Fish steaks should be arranged in a circle, thicker part to the outside. Cover with cling
film or lid.
NOISE- During cooking, popping sounds may be heard. This is due to moisture trapped between
the flesh, particularly with oily fish such as salmon and mackerel. This can be minimised when
cooking if the skin and flesh is pierced several times with a cocktail stick.
