Fish - Panasonic inverter NN-GD569M Instruction Manual

The microwave oven is an excellent way to
cook fish. In fact, not only does it cook the fish
without drying it, but it also eliminates the
odours which normally occur in a traditional
oven.
ARRANGEMENT
Thin filets of fish such as plaice filets must be
rolled beforehand in order to avoid the tail and
thinner outer edges being cooked excessively.
READY TO COOK FISH
The ready to cook fish and the sauce must be
cooked in two stages. For 150g to 170g, place
the sauce sachet on a plate, then cut the top of
the sachet with a knife. Cook the food on
270W DEFROSTING mode for 4 minutes,
allow to STAND for 2 minutes, then cook on
maximum power (1000 W) for 6 minutes or
until it is completely cooked.
How do I cook fish using the grill or
combination cooking?
Coat the fish with melted butter or oil to ensure
it does not dry out.
Place it on the oven's grill rack. DO NOT ADD
SALT. If necessary, add pepper or herbs.

Fish

If the odours linger after cooking, allow to
simmer in 600ml of boiling water and a sliced
lemon in a large bowl for around 20 minutes.
Afterwards, wipe the walls of the oven with a
dry cloth.
FISH STEAKS
We recommend that you arrange fish steaks in
a circle, but placing the thickest part towards
the exterior, in order to avoid the outer edges
disintegrating and being excessively cooked.
LIQUID
Fresh fish must always be sprinkled with 30ml
(2 tablespoons) of lemon juice or white wine.
When the fish is frozen, add the same quantity
of liquid for even cooking.
SALT
DO NOT ADD SALT to the fish before cooking,
as this may dry it out.
For small quantities, you will get better results
by using the microwave or grill mode only.
WHEN IS THE FISH COOKED?
The fish is cooked when it flakes easily and
the flesh appears opaque.
COVERING
Always cover fish with cling film for microwave
ovens or with the dish cover.
WHOLE FISH
When you cook two whole fish at the same
time, place them in a staggered manner in
order to ensure even cooking.
In the case of a thicker whole fish, cover the
head and the tail mid-cooking with thin
aluminium foil fixed in place with cocktail
sticks.
STANDING TIME
After cooking, you must allow the fish to stand
for 2 to 3 minutes. If you want to use your oven
to cook other food, you may leave the fish to
stand outside the oven.
