how long to bake pollock at 350
Alright, the user is asking how long to bake pollock at 350 degrees. I remember that baking fish usually depends on the thickness of the fillets. I think the standard thickness is around 1 inch, right? So, for a 1-inch thick pollock, it should take about 10-12 minutes to bake. I should check if pollock is similar to other white fishes like cod or tilapia in this regard. Also, maybe the user doesn’t know about checking for doneness with a fork or flaking. I should include that as a helpful tip. They might be looking for a simple recipe, so suggesting some light seasoning or lemon could be useful. Maybe I should advise them to preheat the oven first and possibly line the baking sheet for easy cleanup. I think that covers the basics they need to get started.
To bake pollock at 350°F (175°C), follow these steps for optimal results:
-
Prep the Fish: Place the pollock fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
-
Season: Lightly season the fish with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you prefer. Adding a squeeze of lemon can enhance the flavor.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. This time is ideal for fillets that are about 1 inch thick.
-
Check for Doneness: The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot.
Adjust the baking time if your fillets are thicker or thinner. Enjoy your perfectly baked pollock!
