Fish

[andryah 7]

I am around 2 months out and I crave fish - it makes me feel good to eat it. I however live in the Midwest and have never cooked it. What are your tips,tricks and recipes that you like? Also, anyone use a food service to order fresh fish? I assume its not very fresh at our local grocery store... Thanks!

Not sure if you have a trader joes around?

But they have a great selection of fresh frozen fish... Tilapia is always a good choice of a mild fish and easy to prepare.

Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia

ingredients

3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons paprika

1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley

4 tilapia fillets (about 1 pound total)

1 lemon, cut into wedges

directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees . In a shallow dish, combine the cheese with the paprika and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the fish with olive oil and dredge in the cheese mixture. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake until the fish is opaque in the thickest part, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve the fish with the lemon wedges.

Of course you can cut this recipe in half (I have kids and a husband)

We love to blacken fish...you can get blackened redfish seasoning and use it one all fish. I'm from louisiana and nothing beats catfish for me. Our Albertsons has some you can buy frozen in 15 lb boxes. They are huge! You can feed a family on one! We always bake them. You can also put some cajun seasoning on it and bake it.

I too am eating tons of fish.. just had Haddock tonight....

Fried it in real butter, Lightly egged it and then used Italian bread crumbs to cover it....salt and pepper and paprika for a little zing...

2 min on both sides and a crispy delicious main dish......

most fish you can bake in the oven with onions sliced on top and salt and pepper with a little bit of lemon....Wrap it in tin foil and bake 350 for 30 min...depending on the size of your fish fillet....Love Salmon and Arctic Char this way....

I eat so much fish I think I am growing gills..I also eat oysters, shrimp, lobster and almost every thing I can find that has the label fish.....lol

I am in Eastern Canadian so we have quite a selection of fish we can choose from...

It is easy to digest and takes great....yum!!!!

This sounds really good. Hope my wife reads this. I also really like wild salmon dishes. We just bought 2 boxes of wild salmon directly from a fisher from Alaska (a family friend who has a fishing business). Fills up a whole shelf in the freezer. Yummy!

I'm going to one up this just a bit.

Fill a pie pan with fresh spinach and drizzle with lemon juice, a bit of salt and pepper and red pepper flakes if you like heat.

Prepare the fish as directed above and lay on top of the spinach. Cook as directed. The juice from the fish and lemon will cook down the spinach and it will be ever MORE delicious.

One of my favorite recipes.

Yum sounds good lipstick, I'll try that next time!

Fiddle you lucky dog! I just got back from the market and bought overly expensive wild salmon for tonight's dinner...

This is a favorite for me...good combo of sweet, heat and savory deliciousness. I don't use the cedar planks...and have used orange marmalade as sub for apricot with equal success. If you were concerned about the sugar in the preserves, you could buy a low-sugar preserve or use less than recipe calls for.

Our favorite way to cook fish is to marinate it (salmon gets teriyaki, tuna or mahi gets chimmichurri) and then grill it on the George Foreman. We grill scallops on the Foreman as well. It's easy, less risk of the outdoor grill eating half and it's quick.

You really should thaw in the fridge. My husband found a Fish Market cookbook at the half-price bookstore yesterday and has been reading me tidbits all morning (whether I want to hear them or not ) and they make a point of it in the cookbook.

My super simple favorite: Place a tilapia filet on a pan. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle with Old Bay and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. I never get tired of this recipe.

We always thawed fish in the fridge in a little milk. How weird is that?

Actually it makes sense because the milk probably softens/tenderizes it.
