Microwaving Seafood

Tips

• Good to use fish on the bone – either whole small gutted and gilled fish or fish wings
• Score the flesh whole fish or thick fillets, for more even cooking.
• Arrange in fillets in single layer.
• Cover with plate
• Re-arrange during cooking to ensure even cooking
• The seafood can be brushed with butter, small amount of liquid like milk, wine, seasoning, lemon juice and water or court bouillon.
• Another suggestion is milk, as per video. Add pepper and salt, bay leaf, some butter. Can also add onions, garlic, lemon grass, and chilli!
• Remove the eyes of whole fish. They may explode during cooking.
