12 Hacks For Cooking Fish You'll Wish You Knew Sooner
Pat Fish Dry Before Cooking – Ensures a perfect sear by removing excess moisture.
Use a Fish Spatula – A thin, flexible spatula makes flipping delicate fish fillets easier without breaking them.
Cook Fish on a Bed of Lemons – Place lemon slices under fish to prevent sticking and infuse it with citrus flavor.
Score the Skin – Lightly scoring the skin of the fish helps it cook evenly and prevents curling.
Cook Fish with the Skin On – Leaving the skin on helps keep the fish moist and flavorful.
Use Parchment Paper – Cooking fish en papillote (in parchment paper) seals in moisture and flavor.
Season Fish Just Before Cooking – Prevents the salt from drawing out moisture and keeps the fish tender.
