FISH AND SEAFOOD
Delicate, tender fish is the result when cooked in the
microwave. Because it is moist cooking, the finished
fish and seafood, if cooked for the appropriate time, will
be opaque and flake with a fork with no signs of
dryness.
Because fish is unevenly shaped, the arrangement is
critical to success. To arrange several fillets in a deep
glass pie plate, put thicker edges to the outside and
thinner edges to the inside. Try to create a circle for
best results, even overlap thin ends where necessary
to achieve overall even thickness.
Single items may do better if the thin ends are shielded
with a foil. Some rules apply to the use of foil-Never
cover more than one-third of any item; do not let the foil
pieces touch each other or the sides of the microwave
oven, and be sure that all ends are tucked under and
lie flat to the food. Cover with wax paper to prevent
spattering.
Seafood cooks very quickly in the microwave-about 3
to 4 minutes per pound. Wait for stand time, then
proceed carefully with extra time, to finish cooking
without overcooking. Cooked seafood will be opaque
and firm, but not tough.
Frozen fish and seafood are convenient to keep on
hand. See the "FISH-AUTO DEFROSTING" chart on
page 11 of this cookbook for defrosting details.
