So, I've never been a fish person. I've tried countless times over the years to like cooked salmon and I always just hate it (with the exception of one time ever that has never since been repeated). But, logically I realize that fish can be very healthy for you, so I'd love some tried-and-true recipes for preparing fish. Searching online for recipes never goes that well for me because there are just so many and I get overwhelmed. I have a Costco sized bag of frozen mahi-mahi filets in my freezer as we speak and I really want to give enjoying fish another valiant try. Any suggestions welcome and appreciated!!!

No i didn't see that, but looking through it almost all the posts are about shellfish, which I certainly don't have a problem enjoying (especially shrimp). There were a couple of actual fish ideas in there though, thanks!0

Halibut or cod
Tempura batter
Fry
Make taco with fish, crema, citrus0 -
rainbow trout, Sablefish (black cod), halibut, arctic char, so much so good. do a little research on quality fish because for example not all salmon are created equally. I have a post in the above thread0

My first question would be is there something as "healthy" for you which you'd enjoy eating more than something you don't seem to like?
I like almost anything, honestly. I certainly didn't get fat by being a picky eater, so yeah I'm sure I can eat tons of other things that can be considered healthy. But I don't know, I just feel like there are benefits to eating fish and I always like to give things a shot so I guess that's why I'm interested in finding some good recipes to try out.0 -

i love cod filets, I bake them with a little buttermilk in the baking dish, keeps the fish moist and adds a little flaver, sprinkle some parmasen cheese on each, place a thin slice of onion on top of filets, some spray pam on top of that, and then salt and pepper , I don't like buttermilk but this makes the cod really good, bake at the time and heat that the fillets say. give it a try its wonderful.0

forgot I personally don't like the taste of the onion when done so take it off but my husband does like it

That's interesting, I remember years ago a co-worker of mine told me that her favorite way to cook fish was to bake it in milk. I never actually tried it. Thanks!
Edit 'cause i just saw your other post - I LOVE onion so I think I'll try keeping it on and see where that takes me.0 -
I'm a massive fan of Asian flavours with fish. Cod is pretty inoffensive and tends to just take on whatever flavours you put with it so could be a good place to start. Try baking it. Wrap it in foil, add ginger, chilli, garlic, honey, fish sauce, soy sauce and a few lime wedges. Close it up and put it in the oven for 15 minutes.0

Fish is hit or miss for me. It took a long time for me to like it.
I love salmon so I just cook it with whatever seasoning I feel like for the day.
I have made tilapia that was drizzled with olive oil and dipped in Parmesan cheese and baked. That was really good.0 -
Try cooking some fish like salmon rare or or medium rare. To me it tastes better, fresh not like can. The same goes for tuna. I like it better seared still pink in the middle. Tastes so different from canned tuna. But don't discount canned fish. You can make some great dishes with it too. Tilapia is a mild fish it pairs well with many different sauces. I second the suggestion of fish tacos. Here is a link to some fish recipes on my blog:

Here is another recipe:

I take a piece of frozen salmon and lay it on a bed of fresh spinach and put lemon juice on it and bake in oven until salmon is done. Spinach gets nice and wilted. It's yummy0

tuna steaks are outstanding. as is swordfish.0

Fish is yucky. If you don't like, it won't matter how if you eat it in a house, or with a mouse, or battered and fried by your spouse. Go back to Costco and buy their fish oil and one of their gigantic pepperoni pizzas and eat those instead.0

I recently posted this for someone else, I'll leave here, too. It's the easiest, tasty salmon recipe I've ever tried. And salmon is one of my least favorite kinds of fish! We had a pound and a half of salmon. I mixed half a cup of brown sugar, a tablespoon of chilli powder, a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of pepper together in a bowl. Lined a baking sheet with foil, topped the salmon with a generous layer of the spice mix (i used most of it, but not all), baked in a preheated oven (400 degrees) for 13-15 minutes. So easy, and so good.0

That's because salmon is icky. Try basa, tilapia, and shellfish (shrimp, crab, lobster, scallop). They're much more mild. I've never had mahi-mahi but maybe it's a regional issue.0
