Microwave fish stock

Worked this out with Gemini, really quick and easy thing to do with something you would otherwise put in the bin.

Does not smell while cooking.

Ingredients for 1 batch

• 40-50g cooked fish bones, head, and skin (from Microwave steamed trout or salmon when you've cooked a whole trout).
• 250ml cold water.
• 6 pepper corns.
• 1 raw spring onion, sliced finely.

Directions

1. Put everything listed in the ingredients into a big microwave jug, cut the bones so they are covered by the water.
2. Cook on 600W power for 5 minutes - stir halfway through, especially if the water does not cover the bones.
3. Stand for 2 minutes then strain.

If not using this immediately, it refrigerates well for up to five to seven days at 0°C, or freeze. Ensure it is completely cold before placing it in the fridge in a sealed container. A litre jug filled to 250ml mark with water with a half litre jug of the stock chills in no time flat.
