Which is good, because if there’s one thing I don’t feel very confident cooking, it’s fish. One time, years ago, I was staying at my sisters and she made us fish. I was a little shocked and was like, “Wait a minute, how do you know how to make fish?
She let me in on the secret, all you really need to make tasty baked fish is a little salt, pepper and lemon juice. What???
Once I realized how easy it was to bake fish, I’ve been doing it regularly and experimenting with different seasonings and toppings.
In case any of you have found yourself staring at a bag of frozen fish, wishing you knew what to do with it, today I’m telling you. Â This is the recipe that gave me hope in my abilities to ever successfully cook fish. Yep, I owe it all to my sister and these simple ingredients.
So join me fellow, scared of cooking fish, friends. Grab your aprons and a glass 9×13 pan and take a stand. You can and will cook fish like a BOSS.
