Olive Garden Shrimp Sauce Recipes - Cooking Fish 101

Grilling is the testiest of traditional fish-cooking methods, because it is deceptive in its apparent simplicity. The novice cook assumes that grilling fish requires only as much attention as a steak, a burger or chicken. Unlike other meats, fish tend to secrete much of their moisture when cooked, and on an open grill the precious liquid has no recourse but to drip into the coals.


You can also steam you fish which is a method which ensures that the fish remains moist throughout cooking. The fish is cooked in a liquid, such as fish stock, wine, water or milk. which can be flavored with herbs, a little onion or lemon juice. The fish may be cooked on top of the stove in a pan or fish kettle, or in the oven. If the pan is not covered the fish should be basted frequently. The cooking liquid is usually used as a basis for the accompanying sauce.

Here is a list of quick tips:

* For moister broiled fish, first steam or poach the fish until close to being done and then brown it under the broiler.
* Fish sticks to the grill very easily, so proper lubrication is essential.
* Make sure that the fish is well coated in batter.
* You can place fish directly on the grill, but if you do this, use a firm fleshed fish, like grouper, tuna, swordfish, or salmon.

* When baking fish, prepare the marinade, preheat the oven, and put the fish in for the prescribed amount of time. Be sure to check the fish often to ensure that it doesn't overcook.

* Cook it as soon as possible to minimize the loss of juices.
* Make sure your grill is clean and oiled.
