Fish 10 min rules everyone should know

The 10 min rule is use to cook fish through methods like grilling, broiling, poaching, steaming, sautéing and baking at 400°F to 450°F.

Measure the fish thickness, a fish with a 1 inch in size should be cook for 5 min on each side for a total of 10 min, for fishes lower than ½ cook for less than 3 min on both sides; the thinner the meat the faster heat will travel through it.
