Features of cooking fish in the microwave:
– Fish cooks quickly in the microwave, it is important not to overcook it, not to dry it out. Therefore, bake-boil it for a minimum time, let it stand, and only then check its readiness – the fish should lose its "transparency" and be easily separated into layers-fibers with a knife or fork. Approximate cooking time – 5 minutes per 600 g. fish at 900 W. – During cooking, cover with a lid or film – to preserve juiciness. (Be careful, steam!) – It is better to add salt after cooking, but it is worth sprinkling with lemon juice before – the fish will be denser, tastier, the color will be preserved . – You can pour cream or put a thin petal of butter, sprinkle with breadcrumbs – then you can not cover the pan. It turns out very tasty! – Place the thick edges of the fillet closer to the edge of the dish (to the walls), the thin ones, respectively, to the center – remember that it cooks faster from the edge. With this layout, the fish will not dry out and will cook evenly . – Frozen fish must be defrosted completely, you can do it in the same microwave. – A double portion of food takes twice as long to cook, and vice versa! The easiest way to cook fish in the microwave: take a glass saucepan with a lid, or prepare a film to cover the form. Lightly grease the bottom of the saucepan with oil (butter or vegetable – as desired), then lay out the fish, sprinkle with white pepper, dill, drip a few drops of lemon juice, pour a little oil on top … close the lid – and for 5 minutes at 900 W. Yes, about half a kilo of fish. Stand for five minutes – and it"s ready. And if now you pour a beaten egg over this fish, and return it to the microwave, then in a couple of minutes you will have fish in an omelet – juicy, delicious. Or you can pour cream and white wine over this fish and heat it for a couple of minutes – so that the sauce evaporates and thickens a little. Such a-a-a-a-a-a! .

Flounder with Polish sauce You will need:.Carrots – 2 pcs ;.Onions – 1 pc ;.Vegetable oil – 1 tbsp.; Medium-sized flounder carcasses – 3 pcs. 200 g each. (600 g total.); Sauce: Eggs – 2 pcs.; Butter – 100 g.; Greens (dill, parsley) – ½ bunch each; Lemon juice, salt – to taste. |
1. Prepare the fish – if necessary, defrost, gut, clean. I had chilled flounder – already cleaned, and without a head. 2. Put the eggs to boil – "hard-boiled". 3. Peel the onion and carrot, cut the onion into half rings, the carrot into thin circles. 
Place the prepared vegetables, a tablespoon of oil, and two tablespoons of water in a saucepan. Cook under a lid for 5-6 minutes at 900 W. Taste it – the carrots should become soft, but not overcooked. If they are hard – cook a little longer. 
4. Place the flounder on top of the carrots, if possible, turn the carcasses with the thick parts toward the edges of the pan. Spice it up a little, I like the “Lemon Pepper” seasoning from Santa Maria. Cook for 5 minutes at 900 W. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Check the readiness of the fish – if it turns white, loses its “transparency” and easily flakes with a fork – that’s it, it’s ready. 5. Now it’s time for the sauce. The eggs are just boiled, they need to be peeled and finely chopped, the greens should be chopped as finely as possible. Melt the butter in the microwave – 20 seconds at medium power. Add the eggs and greens to the butter, stir. Add salt to taste, add lemon juice – about half a teaspoon. 
This sauce goes well with any boiled or stewed fish. 
Bon appetit!
