Quick answer
How do I know when fish is cooked through?
The flesh turns opaque, firms up, and flakes easily. Salmon can stay slightly pink inside, while carp and zander should be cooked through. Don't overdo it, or it dries out.

Frequently asked questions
How do I pan-fry fish without it sticking?
Dry the fillet thoroughly, get the pan properly hot, and lay the fish in skin-side down. Then leave it alone — once the skin crisps, it releases on its own. Flip just once, near the end.
Can I cook with frozen fish?
Absolutely — just thaw it slowly in the fridge and pat it thoroughly dry before cooking. A good frozen fillet comes surprisingly close to fresh in flavor.
What's the quickest fish for dinner?
A salmon or cod fillet is out of the oven in 15 minutes. Trout in a pan or fish fingers for the kids are quick too.
