Fish can be an intimidating protein to cook but it’s quite the opposite if you set yourself up for success. With a desired internal temperature of 145 degrees, fish can bake quickly depending on the thickness so the first and most important tip we have when baking fish is to make sure all of your pieces are about the same thickness. The second tip is to take a few shortcuts with side dishes to let your full attention be on the fish. Many of us dabble with salmon and shrimp but have you ever wandered outside of that realm? Head to our meat and seafood counter to try a few of these recipes that you can whip up in under 20 minutes.
