– Overcooking: Best way to know when fish is done. Check the internal temperature. Aim or 145F internal temperature for perfectly cooked and flaky fish. – Ignoring Patting Dry: Moisture on the fish will prevent the crust from adhering properly. – Under seasoning: Don’t skimp on herbs and spices for a flavor-packed result.
