Regardless of how you like to cook your fish (bake, broil, grill, sauté or poach), we believe the key to success is to SLOW DOWN! Slow cooking locks in the natural juices, for a more succulent flavor. When the flesh turns from translucent to just about completely opaque, and flakes easily with a fork, it is done. Here are some specific guidelines by cooking method: TO BAKE: Pre-heat oven to 275°F. Place fillets on a cookie sheet brushed with olive oil; bake until you can easily flake with a fork (time will depend on thickness of the fillet) - approximately 20 minutes. TO GRILL: Brush grill with olive oil PRIOR to heating. Once the grill is medium-hot (you should be able to hold your hand 6 inches above the grill for 5 seconds), brush the top of each fillet with olive oil, and place on the grill. Season with salt and pepper. For Sablefish, grill fillet until the sides begin to turn opaque and then flip once – carefully! – and continue grilling until fully cooked. TO PAN FRY: Place fillets in a sauté pan coated with olive oil and pan fry over medium-low heat. Serving
