Why Baking Fish is the Best
Although pan-fried snapper or grilled Mahi Mahi are fabulous, it is my belief that baking fish is the easiest way to produce perfect, moist, flaky fish every single time. Why? Since the fish is not directly against the heat source, like a hot grill or skillet, it cooks slower and more evenly, even when the oven is set on high heat. That means it’s harder to over-cook the fish in the oven, than it is on the stovetop or grill. Whether you are a novice cook or a skilled chef, baking is your best bet for consistently delish fish. Also, it should be stated that perfectly cooked fish should be just barely cooked through. It should be ultra moist, a little firm, and just begging to flake.
Ingredients You Need
White Fish – Your favorite variety: Cod, halibut, mackerel, flounder, grouper, snapper, etc. Mayonnaise – A thin layer of mayo acts as the glue that holds the crust to the fish. Everything Bagel Seasoning – Some brands are called “Everything But The Bagel Seasoning” but you get the picture. The blend should include minced garlic, onions, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds. If you can’t find it at the market, you can blend your own! Almond Flour – Just plain ground almonds. Grind your own or pick up a bag from the store. Lemon Pepper Seasoning – The simple blend of dehydrated lemon, black pepper, and salt is a great way to add a little extra zest!
