Stop fish sticking to the basket

Skin-on fillets go skin-side down and generally release fine once the skin has crisped. Skinless fillets are the problem, and the answer is a piece of perforated parchment cut to size, added only once the fish is sitting on top of it.

Do not try to move the fish early. Fish releases itself when a crust has formed; poking at it after four minutes is what tears fillets apart.

Knowing when seafood is done

Salmon and most white fish are cooked at 63°C / 145°F internal, or when the flesh flakes cleanly under gentle pressure from a fork. Salmon is arguably better pulled a couple of degrees early and left to rest.

Shrimp need no thermometer at all - they curl into a loose C and turn opaque pink, and that takes 6-8 minutes at 200°C / 400°F. A tight O shape means they have gone too far and will be rubbery.
