Two easy ideas: )1) Morey's Wild Salmon ...already marinated & packaged in single filets. Just pop in the oven and bake for 30 min.
(2) Crab stuffed flounder... same thing: already prepared & packaged in single filets and ready to bake. I believe Trader Joe's carries it. We get ours from Five Star.

Both of these dishes have a high fat percentage so eat sparingly.

I make fish all the time and when I have a few moments to spare I will come back on post some recipes. But be warned newbies, salmon is not a good starter fish. It took me years of fish eating to come around to enjoying it. The tame least fishy are the simple white fish like orange roughie, tilapia, Pollack, flounder & swai. Avoid the sport fish like bass & trout.

For the person wanting Cajun, the "Cajun Sprinkles" by Everson you can order online or have applied at Kroger are awesome.
More later.

I agree on Morey's. It is awesome & if you are a fish newbie & going to try salmon, it would be a good choice.

I am not a fan of anything really "fishy" tasting but I absolutely love, shrimp, scallops, tilapia, mahi mahi, cod, haddock...pretty much any firm, mild white fish. Just about any seasoning you like works well with most of these too which makes preparation super easy. I just sprinkle on whatever I'm in the mood for; lemon pepper, bbq seasoning (yummy on shrimp), blackening spices, taco seasoning, garlic, fresh lemon/lime juice, Mrs. Dash...honestly just about anything but watch sodium if you need to. I like to use salt free seasoning blends most of the time.

One of my favorite ways to cook fish is to put a filet on a piece of foil, brush with a tiny bit of EVOO, sprinkle with italian seasoning, place a few thin slices of lemon on top of the fish, toss in a few grape tomatoes (they burst in the oven and add so much flavor to the fish) and fold the foil into a packet. Poke a few holes in the top with a fork so some steam can escape and bake for about 30 min at 350.

I also LOVE grilled/pan seared fish tacos with avocado, lettuce and a sauce of fat free greek yogurt, lime juice and fresh cilantro!

I love fish, but I know alot of people don't. Here is a recipe we had this week that we all really loved. Spicy, and that helps hide the flavor of fish alittle I think. Also, I couldn't find jicama so I used red cabbage.

Bake/broil whatever fresh fish is to your liking and experiment with different sauces. my favorite is basil pesto. Those bottled premade sauces by Iron Chef are ALL good, and I am very picky about those things. Look for them in the asian food section.
Also mix a little soy sauce, rice vinegar and a drop of sesame oil together and whisk with brown sugar, molasses or honey for a bit of sweetess. Mince fresh ginger and garlic in it and yum. You can also replace the vinegar with fresh-squeezed line juice. Makes a great sauce for almost any fish.

I live on a coast in NE and I have to tell you that fresh fish doesn't smell. It's when it's older or has been processed, (manufacturers soak it in crap), that it gets fishy. I understand that people in the middle of the country can't go to a fresh fish store, so here's some ideas.

Scallops. The big ones (Sea Scallops) not the little ones. Make sure they are "dry pack" scallops. Some scallops are treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STP) and are called "Wet Pack". Dry scallops cook up better, trust me so ask your supermarket fish guy for the dry pack. If they don't carry them have them order them for you. They are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and relatively low in calories, they are an incredibly healthy source of protein and really easy to cook.

Heat a sauté pan on medium low to medium high heat. Add olive oil or margarine, to coat the pan, you can use Pam as well. Take the scallops and pat them dry with a paper towel. This is very important because if you don't dry them they won't caramelize and that's what you want on the outside. Place the scallops flat side down in the pan. Shake the pan so they don't stick. Cook without turning for 2 1/2 minutes or until the underside is browned, then flip and do the same on the other side. Remove from pan, they are done. Eat them plain, or put lemon juice, tomato sauce, or mix them in whatever you want. You won't be sorry.

Get the frozen shrimp and make shrimp cacciatore instead of chicken cacciatore. I made chicken scampi with mushrooms the other day and my family loved it. So mix up the proteins in your recipes.

I also will take white fish, (Cod, scrod, etc.), and poach it. Take onions and sauté until transparent on medium heat. Add garlic and stir for one minute more. Take fish and put it in the pan. Add 1/2 cup white cooking wine, splash of lemon, salt, pepper, a little parsley (dried or fresh), and cover the pan. Cook for seven minutes. This is a base recipe and is great on rice or pasta as is, but you can add salsa to this, or crushed tomatoes, and/or other veggies and serve over rice or pasta. You could use clam juice instead of the white wine as well.

Also, do the onion and garlic thing above but add one small stalk of celery and cook until onions are transparent. Add bottle of clam juice and a 1/2 cup white cooking wine to the pot, then put in little neck clams and mussels, (12 of each), and throw in about 12 shrimp. Cover and cook 10 minutes until all the shells are open. Again you can go white or red by adding salsa or crushed tomatoes.

I don't use drinking wine unless it's a chablis or something very light. The problem with using chardonneys, pinot grigios, etc. is that their flavor is so heavy that's all you'll taste in your dish. Lighter wines enhance the flavors of your food rather than covering them up, so when in doubt use the cooking wine.

Asian friend gave me this salmon recipe. One piece of salmon. Sprinkle w/ginger lemon pepper and tsp brown sugar. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Finish w/splash of lemon juice. So easy and good

Last night I made some cod on the grill and it was to die for! I also use Haddock. I don't like much else other than shrimp and clams and that gets pricey!
I just put the fish on a piece of foil, sprayed it with i can't believe it's not butter, sprinkled a little breadcrumbs and cooked it for 8 minutes. Simple, delicious, low in cals high in protein! If you don't have a grill this works exactly the same in the oven, it just takes a little longer to cook.

Tham you everyone.. I'm puertorican so I think I'm going t try adding tilapia to my shrimp ceviche and see how it turns out..!! Thank you ❤

stay away from oily fish, as they have the strongest fishy smell (best for you in the long run, but work up to them). cod, monkfish or any 'meaty' whitefish should see you off to a good start. enjoy!

Be very careful about how much fish you eat with all this radiation in the Pacific Ocean. The FDA only inspects 2% of seafood, if you can believe it. I only eat local seafood for this reason.

Wild Salmon is yummy enough even my kids want to eat it. It's awesome baked plain or with lemon.

ndj1979

you can always do seared tuna...quick, easy, and oh soooo good. I had it last night....

I just created my own recipe... winged it really... got rave reviews from family who don't even like to eat fish. I made a chipotle seasoned corn tortilla and pepper encrusted flounder. Here's a pic:



You can buy a tilapia version from Omaha Steak Company. They inspired me to try and create a recipe for my own.

1. drain and rise beans. Place in small sauce pan with water and 1 tablespoon olive oil over med- low heat.

2. In large non-stick skillet add 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced jalapeño and garlic and heat through for about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and continue to heat for another two minutes until warmed throughly, remove to plate and set aside.

3. Add can of tomatoes, basil and lemon juice to pan and heat to reduce liquid (about 5 minutes). Return shrimp mixture to pan and toss until coated.

4. Add 3/4 c heated white beans to large soup bowl. Top with half shrimp/ tomato mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 2

Enjoy!

Edited to add:
This dish would have been very nice served with King Estate Pinot Gris 2010. I didn't have any. :sad: Most Chardonnay's would work well, too.
