    Notes

    **Notes** Cook the fish ahead of time in your favorite way. You are only cooking it enough for it to tear apart with a fork.**
    **The easiest way is to microwave it with 2 tablespoons of water, covered for 2 minutes, and then flip, cover, and cook 2 minutes more  (adjust for your microwave if needed). You can also steam it or air fry it or grill it. All you need is 3/4 cup of cooked flaked fish.**
    **Cool the fish to room temperature so that it doesn't start cooking the egg when you mix them. When I use leftover fish it is cold from the fridge, so I let it come up to room temp usually. Again I want the egg to cook correctly and the fish to be hot throughout. **
