Fish

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!

I love fish, especially wild salmon and Ono. Wild salmon here in Washington. Ono when I travel to kauii every couple years. Ono is a very tasty fish, but hard to find in WA except at Asian market grocery stores.

I usually cook tilapia fish. I buy them frozen and I buy the smaller fillets. Walmart carries them (each fillet about 3-4 oz) I use a non-stick skillet and add just a little I can't believe it's no butter 1/2 tablespoon, season with a little salt, or sometimes no salt because the butter has salt. Cook the fish for about 3 minutes each side. That's all. Quick and simple

I also just cook frozen (thawed) tilapia in a non stick skillet on each side with whatever seasoning I'm in the mood for. I just cook until it's flaky. I'll use the parkay butter spray or just butter or olive oil cooking spray. I also will bake it with a mixture on top of fat free Greek yogurt, couple tablespoons of freshly grated parm cheese and dill and/or other seasonings. Bake until flakey also. I eat/crave considerably more fish post sleeve.

I keep my fish pretty basic. So that I do not spoil expensive fresh fish, I buy frozen bags of salmon and tilapia at the grocery store. I buy the highest quality of olive oil I can get too (why not, I'm saving so much $ on food anyways might as well get good s**t)

How I cook my fish:

Pan fried

Olive Oil

Real Butter

Mrs. Dash - Lemon Pepper or Garlic Blend

Salt

Pepper

Cooks in about 10 min or less

Tip: Thaw the frozen fish by running it under warm/hot Water for 2min before cooking in the pan, cooks and thaws much faster.

easy, simple, delicious
