I want to eat more fish, but we're pretty boring when it comes to cooking it. I found a good way of cooking cod (I just use egg whites and panko crumbs and bake), but I'd like something simpler... Unfortunately the only common/not overpriced fish I've found lately are cod, salmon, tilapia and flounder, and our attempts at making the last two have always failed... it was just totally bland, or the texture was awful or something..

I'm not a fancy cook though, it has to be easy... and preferably not fried, lol.

    Salmon baked in a foil parcel is great as a supper dish. I marinade the fish with garlic, chilli, soysauce. Then put into a parcel and seal sides. Bake for about 20 minutes. On a low carb day, i serve with salad. Also nice served on top of hot pasta that has had a spoonful of low fat cream cheese melted into it and lightly sauteed mushrooms.

    On most fish I use garlic powder, lemon juice, sometimes lime juice or white wine and you can also use just a tiny bit of olive oil to coat with a brush before you spice, then just broil or grill.

    TONY CHACHERE'S BAKED TILAPIA: This is by far the easiest recipe, and it's quicker than chicken.

    Ingredients:
    Butter (room temp)
    Tilapia (frozen)
    Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning

    1 Defrost the tilapia by putting it in warm water for about 15 minutes.
    2 Get a baking sheet and aluminum foil (non-stick), and cover the bottom of the baking sheet with the aluminum foil (non-stick).
    3 Pre-heat over to 375
    4 Place the thawed tilapia on the foil and rub with a little butter (I leave my butter out so it is softer when I rub it on the fish. It's much easier to spread that way)
    5 Sprinkle the Tonys (creole seasoning) on the tilapia. *Tony's can be strong so start with a light dusting on each or only one side, and strengthen it to taste as you go on.
    6 Bake for 13-15 minutes, and voila !

    I love this recipe because you don't need many ingredients, and it can be ready in 30 minutes. I like to pair it with white rice , and green beans. Makes a perfect lunch. Me and my girlfriends love it.

    Bump

    I don't like pinterest but I guess I could check it... just annoying to have to pin things before you can look at them.

    Penzey's Spices (look them up online) has a great seasoning that we use all the time for fish and chicken. Look up Ruth Ann's Muskego Ave Seasoning.

    I buy a raspberry chipotle marinade at Whole Foods that I use on salmon. I pour it over the salmon, which is placed on a piece of foil on a cookie sheet then bake it at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. I serve it with fresh raspberries, asparagus, and baked sweet potatoes or those microwaveable mini potatoes from Trader Joe's - yum!

    I just bought some cod and am looking for a recipe to make that tomorrow night.
