Cooking Guide
COOKING SEAFOOD IN YOUR MICROWAVE
Be sure to place fish on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. Be
sure to always cook fish until it flakes easily with a fork. Use a tight cover to steam
fish; a lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. And be sure not
to overcook fish; check it at a minimum cooking time before cooking longer.
