How to get lemon juice. Take out the lemon from the fridge, leave it heat up for a few minutes. Then roll the fruit on your cooking board with your hands. This action helps to get more juice. Then slice the lemon crosswise using a sharp knife. Squeeze the lemon with the cutting side up, so the seeds don’t fall into the bowl.
To defrost fish quickly, place it into microwave and use the defrost setting. The second way – transfer the fish to a bowl, filled with cold water. Let it sit for about an hour. The third way – put under running water (about 30 minutes).
