No matter what people say, nothing’s easier than cooking fish. It takes less than 10 minutes to pan-sear a fish and finish it off in the oven. Slow roasting is easy, too, and requires very little of your attention.

These recipes are for salmon and halibut steaks about 3/4 inch thick. If you use other cuts, adjust the cooking time according to thickness. Fish is done when the flesh feels firm to the touch.
