How to Bake Seafood
Baking fish fillets, shellfish or whole fish is easy. Higher cooking temperature make it quick as well. Bake seafood in a preheated oven at 450 degrees. To establish a cooking time length, measure the fish at the thickest part, and cook 10 minutes for each inch of thickness, or until the fish is cooked in the center - turns from translucent to opaque.
Baking actually requires very little or no added fat, another ideal choice for healthy eaters. Easy ways to keep the seafood moist during cooking include coating with seasoned bread crumbs, lightly brushing with olive oil or melted butter, or topping with thinly sliced vegetables.
Preheat the oven. Arrange the seafood in a single layer on a lightly oiled or buttered baking dish. If cooking fillets, fold under the thin ends so that they will cook evenly. Spoon any remaining cooking juices over the seafood.
