I pan-cook my fish with no oil. Salmon fillets with skin on are perfect for this - cook low for a long while, skin side down and pop the lid on so it can just steam in its own juices. Once it's mostly cooked, flip to brown the top/sides. The skin will literally fall off, so if you want to get a light crust on the bottom, you can do that, too. This technique really keeps the salmon juicy without adding any extra calories/fat from oils. (Just be sure to turn on your vent - the skin will smoke a little!)

For seasonings, I usually keep it simple. Garlic salt or cajun spice on salmon. If you want to take a little extra time & don't mind a few extra calories, salmon goes nicely with a simple sauce made of sauteed onions/mushrooms, a couple splashes of white wine, a splash of white vinegar, and parsley.

For milder fish like tilapia or catfish....anything goes!
Garlic & salt
Cajun spices
Old Bay (Nom nom...)
Curry
5 spice powder
Chipotle spice
Lemon Pepper
Cumin & Chili Powder

Low sodium soy sauce, lime juice, onion powder, ginger. I marinade the salmon for 30 minutes and grill, or pan fry with olive oil, or bake with some of the sauce.

I don't use spices with the whiting fish I eat, as I bake it for 20 mins from its frozen state. I eat it with fruit salsa, which adds the kick

If you like cumin (a fave spice of mine) try this one for tilapia:
TIlapia with Mango, Cumin and Cilantro
Ingredients
4 (5-ounce) tilapia fillets
Salt and ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ripe mango, diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Directions
Season both sides of tilapia fillets with salt and black pepper. Rub cumin and coriander all over both sides of fillets. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tilapia fillets and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side, until fish is fork-tender. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mango and cilantro. Top tilapia with mango mixture just before serving.

I LOVE cumin and cilantro. Definitely going to have to try this one. Thank you!

I have to admit that I don't know what all is in it, but I bought a container of the seasoning from Steak and Shake. It tastes great.

I barbecue salmon with a red pepper and garlic mix, mmm mmmm. Tilapia I like to pan fry real quick with pepper and onion powder, sometimes rosemary. Sometimes I do a little bit of soysauce over it after it is done. I've learned that I like simple things on fish the best.

I use lemon pepper. I use it on chicken breasts too.

For those who say they grill or bbq--can you explain to me how you grill salmon fillet? doesn't it come apart on the grill?

Dill weed is awesome, and lemon pepper is also very good. Soy sauce and a little honey is excellent on salmon.

I had fresh halibut, fresh salmon and fresh Arctc Graylng this week. I did this:

Salmon Put about 1/4 cup Mr. Yoshuda's sauce on the top and baked uncovered until flaky. This is always a hit.

Halibut and Arctic Grayling Dipped in egg, then flour with lots Old Bay Seasoning plus lots of salt and pepper. Pan fried in oil and butter 1/2 and 1/2

Hint, cook fish just until opaque.

The best-tasting fish I ever made was catfish in a skillet with a dab of olive oil, dill weed, garlic powder, fresh ground peppercorn, and parsley, with lemon juice squeezed on after it was done. Dill weed is great for almost any kind of fish.

Tilapia - Works well with cajun / blackening seasoning, lemon pepper, adobo, curry, black pepper, paprika, dill, cilantro, rosemary, chives, saffron, oregano, cumin - pretty much everything except for fresh tarragon - i haven't had a lot of luck with tarragon and tilapia

Salmon - any hearty spice / herb will work with salmon especially turmeric and dill.

My favorite is zatarans southern fish fry and 350* peanut oil.

Lightly marinated with Fat Free Catalina Dressing. It's fantastic!

I'd do a mix of sugar and soy sauce and eat it with rice and cooked veggies.

Personally I'm a big fan of Greek and Portuguese seasonings for fish although I like to mix it up and add some Asian seasoning every once in a while.

For Greek seasoning try out the following:
- oregano
- freshly ground black peppercorn
- basil
- garlic powder
- sea salt
- freshly squeezed lemon!

To be honest I prefer to just order the stuff every once in a while rather than mix it myself, I usually get it from these guys who have quite a large variety of fish and seafood seasonings: https://altiusspice.com/product-category/fish-seafood-seasoning-grinders/

I squeeze half a lemon over salmon then coat it in Fox Point seasoning from Penzeys, it has salt, shallots, chives, garlic, onion, and green peppercorns. It's so good this way that I rarely switch it up! My other way of eating it is when my brother cooks it in his smoker, the flavor is insane. Now I want salmon!
