Notes

How do I know when the fish is done?

The best way to tell if the fish is done is to use a fork and gently flake the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily and is opaque and moist, it is done. You can also use a meat thermometer and check the internal temperature of the flaky fish. It should be at least 145°F (63°C) for safety.

How do I store and reheat the leftovers?

You can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, you can microwave them for a few seconds or bake them in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also freeze the leftovers for up to 3 months and thaw them in the refrigerator before reheating.
