FAQ · Things people ask

About this recipe.

Which fish works best?

Any firm white fish: cod, haddock, pollock, tilapia, or kingfish. Avoid delicate fish like sole — it will break apart.

Can I use skin-on fillets?

Yes. Place skin-side down first. The skin crisps and helps keep the fish together.

How do I know the fish is done?

It turns opaque all the way through and flakes cleanly when pressed. At 12 minutes at 220°C for 3 cm thick pieces, it should be right.
