Lemon Butter Fish

It is not often that I get to cook fish, due to a busy lifestyle and being particular about quality and freshness.  I discovered that buying good quality frozen fish does not compromise on freshness besides cutting down time for preparation, making it easy for me prepare a healthy meal quickly.

It is easy to buy cut and prepped meat and chicken from the grocery store, but usually seafood is less than fresh as it sits in a shrink wrapped package on ice or in a chiller. To maintain freshness with seafood, it is better to get it frozen. The good thing about any kind of seafood is that it does not take a long time to thaw as in meat and chicken. 

If I can buy fresh seafood from the market, I immediately clean it, cut it and portion them ready for cooking and freeze it. When I need it, I only need to take it out of the freezer and immerse the entire package in tap water whilst I prepare my other ingredients. By the time it is all done and I am ready for cooking, the seafood just requires me to take it out of the package and a wash under the tap to get rid of excess ice. It should still be icy but pliable. Never leave seafood out to thaw for a long time as it spoils quickly.

Here's a quick and simple recipe using New Zealand's Talley's Frozen Skinless Fish Fillets. I used Dory for mine, but any favorite fish will do.
