Notes

10-Minute Rule

To calculate the cooking time for fish based on size, a general rule is to cook the fish for about 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness at 355 F - 180°C.

Adjust the time slightly up or down depending on the fish's size and your oven's characteristics.

For thinner fillets, start checking for doneness at the lower end of the time range.
