Season with salt and pepper. Steam the seafood until it is cooked in the center. Cooked seafood turns from translucent to opaque in the center when done. Baking is a method for cooking seafood quickly at a high temperature. Bake in a preheated oven at 450oF.

Baking actually requires very little or no added fat, another ideal choice for healthy eaters. Easy ways to keep the seafood moist during cooking include coating with seasoned breadcrumbs, lightly brushing with olive oil or melted butter, or topping with thinly sliced vegetables. Preheat the oven. Arrange the seafood in a single layer in a lightly oiled or buttered baking dish. If cooking fillets, fold under the thin ends so that they will cook evenly.
