You know the one... It's That Same Feeling that causes you to ask yourself repeatedly " Why am I doing this again?" I've been trying to battle that super persistent feeling for the past few weeks by giving myself little pep talks: "Don't give up now. You DO want to do this!"  "Don't you remember how much you used to love doing this? Just keep going!" " Do it one more time and you'll see -- everything will be fine. You'll feel much better once you get it over with." But no matter how many times I tried to get excited about it, I found a reason to avoid doing it. (Thank you, Caroline.)

How To: Reheat Leftover Fish

Confession: I have avoided ordering fish in a restaurant because I didn't want to be stuck with leftovers.

Now, admit it. 

You've done this, too. 

You've found yourself in a fantastic seafood restaurant, with a lengthy list of fish entrĂ©es to choose from, but instead of taking advantage of the opportunity, you order something on the safer side, something that you knew you wouldn't waste when it came to eating the leftovers the next day. After all, you don't want to be that person in your office who uses the microwave to reheat the fish to a dried-out, barely-edible mess and who successfully manages to stink up the joint for the rest of the afternoon.

If you absolutely must bring your leftover fish to work for lunch the next day, then use low power on the microwave and place the fish in a dish with a little water on the bottom to prevent the fish from drying out. For added flavor and moisture, you can also put a little pat of butter on top of the fish before microwaving.

But in my experience, it's best to reheat fish in an oven in your own kitchen, rather than in the communal kitchen at the office.
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  2. Wrap the leftover fish in aluminum foil.
  3. Place the wrapped fish directly on the oven rack and let sit in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

While the fish is in the oven, you can use the time to finish preparing the side dishes you're going to serve with it. 

Voila!
