TIPS FOR BAKED MONKFISH

1. If the fish and the potatoes start to brown too much cover with aluminum foil.

2. We usually bake at 180ºC (350ºF) but, if you lower the temperature to 150ºC (300ºF), despite taking longer to bake, it has the advantage of enhancing much more the flavors.

3. If you have leftovers, store the fish and the potatoes in the fridge in a properly covered container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms). To avoid drying out, do not reheat the food in the oven, reheat it in the microwave.

      Hi June,

      First of all, we apologize for the delay in replying.
      All the recipes are tested before we add to the website. Sometimes depends on the oven, add a little more time and cover the baking dish with aluminium foil to prevent the fish to dry.
