Can fish be fried in a microwave, if yes then on which mode and how?
Person   ()
Hi, I wouldn't recommend microwaving fish. However, you can bake fish in the conventional oven or using the convection mode of the 3-in-1 combo oven. I have already shared the recipe for baked fish here. http://simpleindianrecipes.com/bakedfish.aspx
