salmon cakes recipe

Fish can be steamed or poached and get excellent results. To steam fish, place it in a metal or bamboo steamer. Place the steamer into a saucepan that has water that has been seasoned with lemon, ginger, or any seasonings from your favorite recipe. The fish can be poached by lowering it into a liquid that is simmering but not boiling. A boiling liquid will cook the fish too quickly and cause the outside of the fish to overcook. The poaching liquid can contain any aromatic herb or vegetable that you enjoy. Cooking times are only a few minutes and depend on the thickness of the fish. As always, test the fish if fully cooked with the color and flake tests.

Cooking fish and seafood can be easy if you know what you are doing, Here are some tips to help you buy and cook your fish.

* Be careful not to over stuff the fish if you are using a breadcrumb stuffing, because breadcrumbs expand when cooking.

* When cleaning fish, avoid rough treatment because wounds in the flesh can allow the spread of bacteria.

* Rub lemon juice on fish before cooking. This will help the fish maintain its color and add to its flavor.
