General recommendations for cooking
There is no single technology for boiling fish. There are several secrets that allow you to balance between the necessary heat treatment and boiling the pulp. It is better to place fish cut into large pieces in cool water and gradually heat it to a boil. Small fish should be placed in hot liquid to prevent them from falling apart.
The water should only lightly cover the fish so that when boiling the liquid does not boil and the integrity of the pieces is not compromised. You can boil the carcasses with their heads, removing the eyes and gills. Fish cooked whole will turn out much tastier and juicier than when cut into pieces.
To prevent the carcass from losing its shape, 3-4 transverse cuts should be made on the skin of the back. To improve the taste of steaks, soaking the pieces for 3-4 hours in a marinade of wine, freshly ground black pepper and chopped onion will help.
The length of time it takes to cook fish depends on the size of the pieces and the carcass. The minimum time to kill parasites is 10 minutes after boiling for large steaks and 8 minutes for small ones. River carcasses take longer to cook, as well as specimens with the head, since in this place the fish have the greatest thickening.
Important! Sea cod should also be cooked for about 10-12 minutes, as its flesh can contain a lot of parasites.

Useful tips
Basic tips and recommendations for preparing stewed fish with vegetables are as follows:

- Fish sauce is not the same as fish stock, so don't use it as a substitute. It is very tart and salty, so the dish will be ruined.
- Any fish stewed with vegetables in a sauce can be made spicy by adding a little red pepper flakes or Tabasco sauce.
- You can stew any fish in a frying pan with vegetables - haddock, cod, halibut and even salmon. In addition to fish fillets, any seafood can be added - shrimp, clams, mussels, and much more, or a mixture of them.
- If you use frozen fish for the stew, it will probably take a little extra time to cook it.
- Most recipes for fish stewed in a frying pan with vegetables can be supplemented and modified to suit your taste. For example, add brown rice, small pasta or white beans to the dish.

- Any lettuce leaves - 1 large bunch.
- Olive oil – 3 tbsp.
- Apple cider vinegar – 1 tbsp
- Dijon mustard – 1 tsp.
- Salt to taste.
These ingredients make 4 servings of dietary salad.
The KBJU of such a salad for 1 serving is:
- Calorie content – 140 g.
- Proteins – 6.7 g.
- Fats – 1.3 g.
- Carbohydrates – 2 g.
Step-by-step cooking process:
- The fish must be baked in the oven. If it is a fillet, then it is sent immediately in parchment or foil to the oven; if it is whole carcasses, they must first be gutted.
- After the fish is baked, you need to divide it into small pieces, removing all the bones along the way.
- The salad can be served either hot or cold.
- Cut the white bread into small cubes, lightly sprinkle with half the vegetable oil and place in the oven after the fish for 5-10 minutes to get crispy croutons.
- Wash the lettuce leaves and tear them with your hands. Divide among 4 plates.
- Mix mustard, vinegar and remaining olive oil, add salt. Gently drizzle the oil over the greens and add cubes of croutons (crackers). Arrange the fish pieces.
- Boil water in a saucepan and very carefully beat in the eggs, one at a time. This cooking method is called poached eggs. They cook for exactly 60-80 seconds. They will be slightly runny inside. You need to catch them with a slotted spoon and immediately carefully place them on a serving plate on top of the greens with fish in which the salad will be served.
- Drizzle the rest of the butter-mustard mixture over the top.
The egg is broken when tasting the salad and the yolk serves as part of the sauce.
Cooking methods
Cooking fish together with vegetables increases its benefits, since such dishes contain a lot of vitamins and minerals, combined from all the ingredients used. Depending on it, a fish dish may be suitable for any diet or undesirable for frequent consumption.
Cooking method | What is its essence | pros | Minuses | Is it suitable for dietary nutrition? |
Grilling or grilling | Application of dry heat at very high temperatures. The main difference between these methods is that grilling uses heat from below, while grilling uses heat from above. | This is a quick way to cook delicious fish without adding any fat. | This type of cooking, especially over an open flame, produces certain harmful compounds called heterocyclic amines (HAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. They provoke early aging of the body and can cause a number of diseases, especially those related to the functioning of the heart. | It is allowed occasionally, since the finished product is low-fat and low-calorie. However, to minimize risks, you should reduce the cooking time of the fish as much as possible and avoid over-browning it. In addition, applying a marinade to the product before frying helps reduce the formation of harmful compounds. |
Frying in a frying pan or in a deep fryer | High temperature cooking methods that use hot fat. Deep frying involves submerging food in a large amount of fat, while frying, wok or saute pan uses much less. | The fish cooks very quickly and has an appetizing golden brown crust. | During frying, fish absorbs some of the oil, which increases its calorie content and changes the types of fats it contains (often increasing the amount of omega-6, which provokes inflammatory processes). At the same time, the content of beneficial omega-3 and vitamin D decreases. | Allowed on keto and low-carb diets. However, it is recommended to fry fish in a pan rather than in a deep fryer, and to use only healthy oils in small quantities (such as olive oil). |
Stewing in a frying pan or in a saucepan | Cooking by boiling fish submerged in a small amount of liquid such as water, milk, stock or wine. | This method does not use the addition of fat or oil, so the fat content and calorie content of the product do not change, while all the beneficial substances in the fish are preserved. | Any negative changes in the quality and taste of fish can only occur if you deviate from the classic stewing method (for example, when using fatty broth or excess liquid). | Suitable for both medical diets and weight loss. |
Steaming | Cooking by placing the product over a container of boiling water, carried out by exposure to hot steam. | As with stewing, no fats are added during steaming, so the fat content and calorie content of the product do not change, and all beneficial compounds are retained almost in their original quantities. | Steaming fish for a long time can increase the amount of cholesterol oxidation products. | Suitable for both medical diets and weight loss. |
Baking | A dry heat method that involves cooking fish in the oven. | Leads to less loss of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D compared to other methods. | Baking with the addition of oil and fatty sauces increases the calorie content of the product and makes it less healthy. | Suitable only for baking with minimal addition of oil or in foil. |
Microwave cooking | Microwave ovens cook food using waves of energy that interact with certain molecules in the food, causing them to vibrate and subsequently heat up. | A fast and relatively low-temperature cooking method that does not increase the fat and calorie content of the product. | There is speculation that microwaving food may reduce the amount of nutrients. | Suitable for both medical diets and weight loss, as long as no oil or fatty sauces are added during the cooking process. |
Sous vide | The product is placed in a sealed bag and cooked in a temperature-controlled water bath. | The cooking method uses strictly controlled, very low temperatures, which retains moisture in the product and preserves nutrients. | It takes a very long time to complete, most often several hours. | Suitable for both medical diets and weight loss. |
