How to Fillet a Whole Fish
Tips and Ideas
So now that you have fillets, what should you do with them? Here are a couple of great ways to cook fish fillets:
* Take a fresh Halibut fillet and broil it with some Herb Compound Butter. Take 2 fillets, 2 tbsp of butter, and some herbs of your choice, like tarragon. In a foil line baking sheet, rub a tad bit of olive oil, add the fish and 1 tbsp of the compound butter on top of the fish. Broil for 4 minutes, serve hot on a bed of arugula.
*Bake salmon fillets with fresh dill and lemon
* You can make a healthy version of the fish and chips classic using Panko crumbs (Japanese bread crumbs) and baking them instead of frying them. For the chips, switch it up by making baked sweet potato fries. Serve with homemade tartar sauce. The best types of fish to fillet are salmon, halibut, cod, tilapia, trout, and bass, especially if you are new to it. Remember to take your time, preparing fish is a delicate process; once you have the skill you will understand the enjoyment of eating freshly caught fish!
