Can you cook fish with lemon juice?

Lemon juice is a very acidic liquid that you can use to “cook” your fish without the use of heat, creating a dish called ceviche that is common in Central and South America.

Also to know is, how long does fish take to cook in lemon? 20-30 minutes Secondly, can you cook meat in lemon juice? The acid in lemon juice causes a similar phenomenon to cooking meat, but because it doesn’t raise the temperature of the meat, it’s not considered to be a safe way to prepare beef. Lemon juice, however, does serve a purpose when it comes to cooking beef. Also question is, do you put lemon on fish before cooking? When you place meat in an acidic marinade (such as lemon juice), there will be denaturation of the protein molecules on the surface of the meat. Thus, it is okay to soak fish in lemon before cooking, as long as you are careful not to leave the fish in the lemon juice for too long.Why is fish served with lemon?The reason is: To get rid of nasty fish smell/taste. Fish meat contains amines. Amines are molecules that are produced naturally when fish muscle starts to break down. When mixed with an acid (like the citric acid in lemon juice), they react and form an amine salt.
