    Nobody has responded yet so why be defensive. Anyway, pretty much any fish can be steamed or grilled.

    :drinker: catch and release in the grease baby...I like small bass where they're legal to keep (doesn't matter "true" or those in the sunfish family).

    pretty much all fish is good the oily ones are usually promoted as being better for you with the added Omegas they provide.
    Avoid any frying, breading or heavy sauces.
    I just switched to being a vegetarian but used to make a lot of salmon just simply wrapped in tinfoil with a slice of lemon you can do this with pretty much any fish.
    For cold fish I love smoked Mackerel but its very fishy so some don't like.
    Shrimp are a lot of calories just as a heads up.

    What's wrong with frying, breading and heavy sauces other than the extra calories?

    Shrimp are virtually all protein (very little fat and carbs) but are high in cholesterol.

    Microwaving fish is pretty tricky. Like chicken, it's easy to make fish chewy if you do it in the microwave.

    Most fish can be baked, poached, steamed, sauteed or fried. To grill a fish, you need one that is more likely to stay together. That's why it is easier to grill a whole fish -- because you have the skin on it to keep it together. If you are talking about a grill pan or electric griller, this is less of a problem than over an open fire.

    There are many healthy ways to cook fish. About the only ways to cook that would be unhealthy are those heavy in fat or salt. Fish is best if it's kept moist during cooking and if it is not overcooked.

    Pretty much any fish can be steamed. Flaky fish is not really suitable for grilling, can fall apart, but things like salmon, cod, etc that hold their shape can be grilled. You can poach fish in the microwave which is a handy way to do it. Shrimp is not a lot of calories I don't know how anyone could have thought that. Any shellfish will be extremely lean and a great source of tasty protein.

    I find steamed fish boring. Baked too, unless it's swimming in yummy white wine butter sauce, but then that kinda defeats the purpose. I like fish pan fried in a little olive oil with salt & pepper and some fresh herbs and lots of lemon. Salmon, trout, sea bass...those are the ones I cook at home most often.

    I never steam any meat, but steamed fish might be okay. Generally, I pan sear, bake, broil or grill fish. Thin flaky fish can be hard to turn on a grill so I do that rarely, or in a foil pack with veggies. Steak fish, like tuna or swordfish, are best pan seared or grilled IMO. Poached fish is pretty good too.

    Any of these methods are healthy and can use as much or as little fat as you care to add.

    This does not answer what kind of fish can be steamed or grilled, but will answer your question on different ways to cook it.

    I would also suggest baking fish in a foil packet. Just add lemon, salt, pepper, & herbs.

    I love grilled swordfish with an olive tapenade, but swordfish is expensive where I am. Salmon does well on a grill, as are tuna steaks. For grilling directly on the grates, your best bets are ocean fish because they tend to be sturdier than river fish. I second the suggestion of grilling in foil with lemon and seasonings for river fish.

    I like to cook fish by sprinkling seasoning oneach side and cooking them in a pan on top of the stove. All you need is a little spray in the pan (I use canola spray) and throw in for a few minutes. It's quick and super easy.

    One of my favorite ways to cook fish goes like this. Take haddock, or tilapia filets and very lightly coat with bread crumbs. I spray a 13x9 pan with cooking spray. Put the fish in the pan and put a small bit of butter(I use "I Can't Believe it's not Butter" lite) on each piece. Then, pour milk into the pan just until each piece of fish is surrounded but not covered. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. The fish will fall apart. I never season the bread crumbs and only use a little lemon juice to flavor the fish after it is done. Yummy! This will work whether or not you coat the fish with bread crumbs. I have had it both ways. The fish is always perfect.

    Personally, I prefer to BROIL my fish. Salmon is one of my favorites along with scallops. I broil the fish for exactly 12 minutes which seems to be just right for me. I do not turn or flip the fish. Lastly, I avoid Fried or Grilled fish for health reasons. Plan on steaming (poaching) some salmon soon.. should be very tasty.

    Good luck,

    I like...

    Grill - tuna, mahi mahi, sea bass, snapper, salmon, halibut

    Steamed - I don't steam fish often...but I like Hake and Cod

    Pan or Deep Fried - most any white fish

    Roasted - Salmon

    Also love ceviche...

    They're all healthy for you in different ways.

    You mean by creating dupe threads just inserting fish in the title instead of chicken breast?

    as for the OP I'd go with en papillote

    What health problem(s) do you have that caused a need to avoid grilled fish but not broiled? Other than the direction of the heat, they are so similar.

    IMO, the very best way to eat most fish is as sashimi. Salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and snapper are my faves. A rainbow roll is probably the most delicious thing you can ever eat :happy:

    Not really, since you can't seem to get it through your head that labeling food/cooking styles etc either healthy or unhealthy without taking in amount, how often and how it fits in the context of your daily diet is silly, it is doing you no good to try and do so

    Probably because you have made misogynistic, homophobic, and body shaming posts when you first joined. Then there is your weekly threads on the best way to get abs.

    I like tilapia, pollock, tuna steak, salmon, Mahi Mahi . I find putting fish on a piece of foil on the grill with cooking spray works the best for grilling. I like to cook in a frying pan with Pam cooking spray or olive oil depending on my calories for the day. I'm not big on steaming but don't see why you couldn't. I don't use a microwave for much except popcorn. I like to bake chillean sea bass in the oven with breadcrumbs the natural oil in the fish gives it a fried like quality without actually frying it. I assume it would work with any oily fish.

    Sea bass
    Sea trout
    Bream
    Salmon
    I use a steamer and put the fish on lettuce. That way it does not stick. Sometimes I add soy and ginger but watch salt! Steam for 5 minutes or less. I often use a layered steamer and do potatoes first and then the fish on top for the last 5 minutes. Works a treat and energy efficient too..
