Why do I need to brine my fish before cooking?
By soaking your fish for ten minutes in a sea-salt brine (1 tablespoon sea salt per 4 cups of cold water), it will keep your fish from falling apart while cooking, boost flavor and moisture, and get rid of the unsightly patches of white albumin that forms on fish when cooking.
