    My husband made salmon the other day baked in a foil pack in the oven with some soy sauce and agave syrup. Very tasty.

    We mostly do salmon. Spray a little olive oil out of my Misto, add some lemon pepper (no salt!!), garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley and pop it in the oven until it's done.

    Or raw... can't go wrong with a sake/hamachi sashimi plate!!

    In the crockpot: I rub a salmon steak with either olive oil & either coriander, basil, or lemon. I then place this in a piece of foil, make a little packet out of it, and stick in the crockpot for 3-4 hours. Easy and super moist!

    We had Mahi-Mahi last night, but I use this basic recipe for a lot of proteins-it's the only way my son will eat it!

    1TBSP butter, 1T evoo in the pan
    Rub 4 fillets with 1/2t evoo, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper to taste, an copious amounts of dill.
    Sear the fish on both sides, turn down the heat and cook through.
    Deglaze the pan with water or stock, add same seasonings as rubbed on fish, plus fresh parsley.
    Reduce and finish with 1T butter.

    Makes four servings with 1-2T sauce per serving. Even with the butter and evoo it's still relatively low calorie and super satisfying.

    There's a recipe on epicurious for Stuffed Trout that is really, really good. (March 2009 recipe, from the New Legal Sea Foods Cookbook.) If you're on a budget, just skip the lump crab meat. It's delicious, super easy, and you'll get a lot of veggies in as well.

    I love tilapia or any firmer white fish for tacos - In a piece of foil, I lay down a "bed" of sliced lemons or limes, top with the fish, sprinkle with taco seasoning and some thinly sliced onions, cover and seal well with another foil, grill or bake about 20 - 25 minutes or until its cooked through (depends on thickness of the fish). Serve on warm corn tortillas with shredded cabbage and call it dinner :D

    I have an epicure steamer that I use. It goes in the microwave. You can cook your whole meal in there in under 10 min! It's great! Seasonings I either do nothing and then dip it in a little ketchup or use Epicure's Lemon Dilly. I prefer haddock but sometimes eat salmon too. Maple salmon curry is delicious but not so light on the cals

    I also use it on salmon, pork and boneless, skinless chicken breast. Delicious!

    Catch trout, slit up the belly, cut the head off, pull the guts, scrape the blood out (we call it the mud vein, not sure if that's accurate), rinse, then cook it up on a grill or in a pan with some oil. Season with nothing or lots of dill or bbq sauce.

    For salmon, load it up with dill and bake it or pan fry it with oil and bbq sauce or dill.

    I love broiling mine. Cooks fairly quickly and with a small (and I do mean small) amount of canola oil and lemon pepper. It's always nice and tender. Happy cooking! :)

    I started poaching my swai/tilapias. I add nothing to it. HOWEVER, I make a really banging, spicy brown rice. I mix the fish into it and that gives it the FLAVA. The rice is cooked with coconut oil, but one serving is not bad and this way I'm not adding extra oil to the meal.

    I like to spread the fats throughout the day.

    Salmon I eatther grill (with no added fat, in a non stick pan or a grill pan) or make my own gravlax (you can find many recipies online). I serve it with veggies cokked or a salad.

    White fish I generally use in stews rich in veggies.

    If I have a big whole fish I put it in the oven, garnished with slices of lemon, some parsley and coarse salt.

    Haddock or cod mainly - I eat fresh fish once a week every week. I cook it in a large non stick pan with water and some cream (I don't drink milk, but milk and water is better). I cook it until it begins to flake.

    Baked (I like to bake tomatoes with the fish because it's yummy) or pan fried (seasoned and with a sauce of lemon, fresh herbs, and a small amount of butter smashed together), paella or kedgeree (both BBC good food recipe), sushi/sashimi (I buy these)

    1. spray a cookie sheet and bake thawed or fresh fish. (you can back in a foil pouch, but i have yet to try it)

    2. in a pan start sauteeing onion and tomatoes (and whatever other veggies) and then adding the tilapia and mixing until crumbles to put use as taco meat.

    Some great recipes from the NY Times blog "Recipes for Health"

    http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/05/one-fish-two-fish/

    This is the lede:

    Everyone knows fish is good for you, but many of us get stuck eating the same varieties — tuna, cod, salmon and shrimp. This week Martha Rose Shulman explores the flavor and benefits of trying new types of fish.

    This week I made five different fish dishes and did not use any of the favorite four. I turned, as I always do, to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch pocket guide (they also have an app) for advice about best choices and good alternatives, and bought my fish from a fishmonger at my farmers’ market, from Trader Joe’s, and from Whole Foods. I avoided farmed fish, especially farmed fish from far away. The species I cooked included local Pacific sole, mahi mahi, arctic char, and Pacific halibut. Other good seafood choices are clams and mussels, striped bass, sardines, and rainbow trout.
    Here are new recipes for cooking with fish.

    bump! I'm newly pescatarian (from vegetarian) and am enjoying reading these recipes. Thanks!

    Also, I assume that first I would need to thaw all frozen fish before doing the aluminum foil cooking? (probably a stupid question, but I haven't cooked fish ever)
