I have to be honest with you; I am not very good with cooking fish. I tend to overcook the fish and then it turns out very dry and tasteless. This is the reason why I love fish recipes that are baked in some kind of a sauce as they do not dry out that easy.
Another very easy way of cooking white fish is to simply mix a little melted butter with a packet of tomato soup and a little boiling water. Pour this over your fish portions and simply cook it in the microwave oven until cooked. To see if the fish is cooked simply part a small piece in the middle and if the fish is not transparent any more it is cooked. I have it even easier, my microwave oven has a "fish" program so I simply put it on "fish" and the microwave oven does the rest.
With these three easy fish recipes in your arsenal you should not be at a lost for a quick and easy supper again. I hope your family will enjoy these recipes from my personal top cookbook as much as mine.
