I want to eat more fish.

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10046150/seafood#latest Have you seen this link?

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 thread

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

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.

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.

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 yummy

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.

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!!!

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.

I've found I really like tilapia. I usually take 6-8 fillets and put two in foil packets with different flavors. Old Bay Seasoning, butter and garlic, soy and ginger and one with a light sprinkle of cocoa powder and smoked paprika. I grill them until the edges are crispy and they're fairly well done because the texture of a softly cooked middle gets to me sometimes.

oh oops, ten minutes per inch.. it's seared and then poaching, so just till it flakes. you don't want it overdone.

A little teriyaki sauce goes a long way on fish. It's a flavor that dovetails with it nicely and makes it take a little less, well, fishy.

As much as I love salmon, I'd say go with a mild-flavored fish like tilapia. Easy, too, since it usually comes frozen, individually packaged. I just put it in an oiled dish, brush it with a little olive oil, dash of lemon juice and bake. Or, you could bake it and go the teriyaki route if you want to disguise it a little more. I've found curry powder + sweet red chili sauce to be good on salmon, but haven't tried it with a milder fish.

Another good way to eat tilapia is to dip it in cornmeal/salt/pepper and fry it. Not as low-cal, but if you're learning to like a food, you may have to splurge a bit until you get more used to the taste. It's like putting cheese on your kid's broccoli until he/she gets used to the taste of broccoli. The parmesan-crusted tilapia you can find in the frozen sections is also pretty good. I've made it myself with about half and half bread crumbs and parmesan, then baked.

Now, if I could only get myself to learn to eat sardines. They were tolerable mixed with avocado...

I'm not a fan of cooked salmon either. I used to think that I didn't like cooked fish. Recently, I've had a lot of different kinds of sashimi thanks to a fabulous sushi chef. So, I decided to try cooking some fish for myself. I started with mahi mahi. Brushed some EVOO on it, sprinkled it with salt, pepper and paprika, placed some lemon slices on top of it, and put it in aluminum foil packets in the oven. Absolutely delicious!

My next attempt is going to be a salt-packed whole bronzini (sea bass).

I don't like salmon either. I don't know what flavors you like but I blacken fish quite often. Another way I do it is to season the fish (talapia, barramundi, mahi, sea bass...) with old bay, put a layer of pesto on and chopped grape tomatoes. Wrap it in foil and either grill or bake for about 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.
