The best things in life really can be the simplest. Our broiled fish recipe is a wonderful dish for a busy day, as the total preparation and cooking time is about 20 minutes. It’s customizable for multiple varieties of fish, including red snapper, catfish and trout, and the seasonings are ingredients you probably already have at home. Lemon juice helps keep the fish odor to a minimum as well, so even if you aren’t a big fan of fish in general, you may want to learn how to broil fish and give this recipe a try. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
Place the fish on a broiler rack that’s been coated with cooking spray. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of the melted butter over the fillets, then dust them with flour and sprinkle them with paprika.<\/p>\n Broil the fillets 5 to 6 inches from the heat for five minutes or until the fish just begins to brown.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, parsley, Worcestershire sauce and the remaining 3 tablespoons of melted butter, then pour the liquid over the fish. Broil the fillets for five minutes longer or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.<\/p>\n When the broiled fish cools, transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for three to four days. The airtight container helps keep the fish fresh and prevents fishy odors in the fridge.<\/p>\n Broiled fish recipes freeze well once the fish cools after cooking. Transfer it to a zippered freezer bag, remove excess air before sealing the bag, then write the date on the bag. Use the fish within two months. Thaw it in the refrigerator the night before you plan to heat it up again.<\/p>\n Sure! Skip the butter, flour and paprika phase, and instead coat the shrimp with the sauce added halfway through this recipe. Place the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet, and broil them 4 to 6 inches from the heat until they’re pink, six to eight minutes, turning them once during the broiling time.<\/p>\n The fish is done broiling when a thermometer placed in the center of it reads 145\u00b0F. At this point, the fillet should also flake easily with a fork.<\/p>\n Other fish that taste great broiled include salmon, halibut and Pacific black cod. Tilapia and mahimahi are both mild and suitable for broiling as well. Tuna is another option to broil fish that’s high in protein and firm enough for broiling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Broiled fish is easy to prepare and fairly customizable with different fish varieties and seasonings.
