To perfectly roast fish in a frypan without using any oil, foil, baking paper or leaves will help cook the fish with the nutrients retained.
Just wash, season with salt and wrap fish in foil or baking paper then place in the fry pan and turn on the heat. Cook in low to medium heat so the fish cooks through without burning. Onion and other ingredients can be added to the fish before wrapping if that’s how you like it.
the time I checked on this fish by opening up the foil at about 5 minutes, the juices could be seen sizzling and filling the kitchen with sweet aroma.
For this roast fish, after washing and making incisions, a little salt was rubbed before wrapping with foil and roasting with ease. Tastes really delicious and rich. You can roast as many fish as possible in the same frying pan if it’s a big pan. Just wrap fish separately and drop side by side in the pan.
