Both baking and broiling take place in your oven, so the differences between the two techniques might not be immediately obvious.
When you bake fish, the heat is carried through your oven by slow-moving natural currents of hot air. It's a relatively inefficient way to transfer heat, which is why baking takes a relatively long time. Convection ovens, which use a fan to circulate the hot air, can shorten baking time considerably.
When you broil fish, it's placed closer to the element at the top of your oven. It's not hot air that cooks the fish, but the infrared energy radiating from the element itself. It's a much faster cooking method, but with some sharp limitations. Not every kind of fish is suitable for broiling. The best are fish with high levels of natural oils, such as salmon, mackerel and swordfish. Their natural fat provides a degree of protection against overcooking under the intense heat of the broiler, and the fish will brown beautifully.
Moderately lean fish, such as cod and haddock, can be broiled successfully if you brush the surface with a protective glaze or a thin layer of a high-temperature cooking oil. Very lean, thin and delicate fillets, such as sole, go from uncooked to overcooked in a heartbeat, and are very difficult to broil successfully.
Broiling requires constant attention, because it's so easy to overcook your fish. Baking is a more relaxed affair, because of the lower temperatures used.
