What is oven temp for baked fish?

For delicate fish, such as tilapia or sole, a lower temperature of around 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) is best. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.

For thicker fish, such as salmon or tuna, a higher temperature of around 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) is recommended. This will help to ensure that the fish cooks through evenly without overcooking the outside.

For very thick fish steaks or whole fish, you may want to start the fish at a higher temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) for the first 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for the remaining cooking time.

No matter what type of fish you are baking, it is important to use a cooking thermometer to ensure that it is cooked to the desired doneness. The internal temperature of cooked fish should be between 140 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit (60 and 63 degrees Celsius) for most types of fish.

Here is a general guide to baking fish in the oven:

* Preheat the oven to the desired temperature.

* Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

* Place the fish fillets on the baking sheet.

* Season the fish with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.

* Drizzle the fish with a little olive oil.

* Bake the fish for 10-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Enjoy your delicious baked fish!
