![]() ![]() Heat it in the oven for 15–20 minutes or until it reaches the desired internal temperature (158 F or higher). Cover the fish in foil if unbreaded or leave it uncovered if breaded. Oven: You can also reheat fish in the oven, pre-heating it to a temperature of 325 F. Breaded ingredients should also be reheated here. Fried foods have the best chance of re-crisping in the dry heat of an oven or toaster oven. Aim for a low-temperature oven (no more than 350 F), and check on it once in a while until it's heated through. If you're worried that food will dry out, just cover it with foil. Toaster Oven: Using a toaster oven works particularly well for reheating breaded and fried fish. (Fish etiquette tip: Save your fish leftovers for home, not the office where coworkers with sensitive noses may find your fish-heating habits to be an assault on the senses.) Microwaving is a good option for baked, stewed or sautéed fish. Flip the fish over while warming it to ensure it heats evenly. Set the microwave to a low power mode – 30-40 percent of full power – and microwave the fish in 30-second spurts until heated through. Microwave: A quick way to reheat cooked fish is by warming it in the microwave. According to Cook's Illustrated, thick fish fillets of at least 1 inch reheat better than thinner ones: "Swordfish, halibut and salmon steaks reheat nicely, retaining their moisture well and with no detectable change in flavor." Thin fish like trout require extra care when reheating, because they often overcook and dry out. ![]() When reheating fish, take into account the thickness and the variety of the fish. For breaded fish, you can lightly oil the dish holding the fish, but don't cover it or the breading will turn soggy. If you are a fan of foil, you can cover unbreaded fish loosely to retain the moisture (except when using a microwave). To keep your cooked fish moist while reheating, add a bit of butter over unbreaded fish or a few drops of water to the bottom of the dish used to reheat the fish. Try the heating methods explained by below to strike a good balance between temperature and moisture. ![]()
