To prepare these fillets, it is best to thaw them properly before cooking. You can place them in the refrigerator overnight or use the defrost setting on your microwave. Once thawed, they can be seasoned with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs or spices. For a simple preparation, bake them in a preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
