How long should you cook fish for?
I can't tell you exactly how long to cook your fish without knowing more information! Here's why, and what I need to help you:
* Type of Fish: Different fish have different cooking times. A delicate filet of sole will cook much faster than a thick piece of salmon.
* Cooking Method: Are you baking, pan-frying, grilling, or steaming? Each method has different cook times.
* Thickness: A thick piece of fish will take longer to cook than a thin one.
* Desired Doneness: Do you like your fish cooked through or just barely cooked?
To give you a more accurate estimate, please tell me:
* What type of fish are you cooking?
* How are you cooking it?
* What is the thickness of the fish?
* How cooked do you want it?
Once you provide this information, I can give you a much more precise cooking time.
In the meantime, here are some general guidelines:
* Thin fillets (like sole or tilapia): 3-5 minutes per side
* Medium fillets (like cod or mahi-mahi): 5-7 minutes per side
* Thick fillets or steaks (like salmon or tuna): 10-15 minutes per side
Remember, the best way to know if your fish is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Fish is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
