Tips:
- Choose the right fish. Fish with a firm texture, such as salmon, halibut, or cod, will hold up well to the cooking process and won't fall apart.
- Make sure the fish is fresh. Fresh fish will have a mild, briny smell and no fishy odor. The flesh should be firm and springy to the touch.
- Use a good quality pesto sauce. A homemade pesto sauce will have the best flavor, but you can also use a store-bought pesto sauce if you're short on time.
- Don't overcook the fish. Fish is delicate and can easily be overcooked, so be careful not to cook it for too long. The fish should be cooked through, but still moist and flaky.
- Serve the fish immediately. Pesto fish is best served immediately, while it's still hot and crispy. You can serve it with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Pesto fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat fish. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and nutritious meal on the table in no time.
