So, hubby and I are going to try and add fish to our diet. We don't have a lot of experience with it so if anyone has any suggestions or easy (to start) recipes, your input would be helpful!
Neither one of us is a salmon fan though.

    Mild white fish is really a "fast food" around our house. We enjoy baked orange roughy, with lemon juice and sprinkled generously with lemon pepper. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil to enhance the flavor. Serve with your potato or brown rice.

    Tilapia, baked with bread crumbs, italian seasoning and about a fourth of a cup of feta cheese. Might want to dredge in egg whites or an egg first.

    Sometimes I simmer about a half cup of bottled garden vegetable spaghetti sauce on fish and cook it on the top of the stove. Add garlic and serve with whole grain pasta. Fresh mushrooms, zucchini, anything else works with this stovetop.

    I enjoy baked codfish prepared with the above ideas, as well.

    If you're not a fan of whole fish, or overtly 'fishy' flavours- then I would suggest starting out with a fish that has a 'meaty' texture like tuna or swordfish.

    If you cannot afford these then a firm white fish will do.

    Try just simply topping with pesto and a sprinkling of parmesan, wrapping in foil and baking for 10 mins- v.tasty!

    Or marinade in lime juice and seasoning, grill (broil) and serve with salsa, salad and sour cream in a taco/ fajita.

    Or put whole chunks into a curry/ oriental soup.

    I baked salmon fillets yesterday and I think that they turned out well. My husband, who is trying to gain weight, only likes fried fish and doesn't care for salmon much. He ate it without complaining. I set the oven for 400 degrees, sprayed a Pyrex pie plate with cooking spray and arranged the fillets on the plate. I lightly oiled the fillets (guessing that it was probably less than 2 tea spoons of olive oil), squeezed the juice of one lime over them and seasoned them lightly with salt and pepper. I then baked them for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. The lime gave it a nice flavor. Salmon is a high fat fish but is supposed to be very healthy. A four ounce serving without the oil is 190 calories. The oil probably only added another 15 calories.

    A meaty fish like monkfish, wrapped in parma ham. Is really tasty. And looks fancy when it's soooo easy.

    wrap filleted raw fish in parma ham, a little olive oil n garlic n chilli flakes, bake in an ovenproof dish uncovered for 20-30mins depending on your oven. Fish stays moist due to the oil (I sometimes use fRYLIGHT to keep cals down) and the ham goes crispy.

    Mmmmm.....

    OR

    Creme Fraiche, smoked salmon, sweet thai chilli sauce + pasta. Easy and soooo tasty.

    Hi there, we have a lot of fish here (usually at least twice a week). Tonight happens to be salmon, but other nights are white fish too. Feel free to send me a friend request and you can see the recipe ideas I post as we adventure on this site :-)

    Last week or so I took cod filets and baked them in the oven with a little curry powder mixed with coconut milk (light if you can find it) and served with rice and steamed broccoli - a 450 calorie meal and really yummy! Many variations possible.

    I also have my diary open which works as a recipe book too :-)

    Cheers, Christy
