Fish is known as one of the cleanest and healthiest protein sources in the world - and it's easier to cook than you ever realized. With these recipe, it is also more delicious and healthy for your body too.
For an easy tip, the easiest way to see if your fish is cooked through is to pierce it, very carefully, with a small knife in the center of the fish. Remove and gently touch your lip with the end of the knife. If it feels hot, the fish is done.
