Favorite fish recipes? 🐟 😋

Our favorite fish recipe would probably not be popular unless you lived in the deep south (south Louisiana here).
We love filleted catfish dipped in seasoned yellow cornmeal (salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper) and deep fried. Simple, but yummy, and 'the only way'! LOL
 
My husband doesn’t eat seafood, so I usually just make one 5-7 oz salmon fillet. I’ve only been making it at home for a year or 2. Everything I’ve ever read has said to keep it simple… drizzle with olive oil, season with salt & pepper, 9-12 minutes in a 400/ 425° oven. I love salmon with dill, so I’ll sprinkle with dried dill & serve with either a store bought lemon or lemon dill sauce. Sometimes I’ll make a creamy dill sauce of my own. Instead of dill, I’ve also topped the salmon with jarred pesto mixed with some grated parmesan cheese. Yum.
This is basically what we do, although I prefer it grilled on the cedar plank. I spray the salmon with olive oil, generously sprinkle with dill weed, top with onion slice and lemon wedge on top of that and pop it on the grill.
 
One of our frequent meals is tilapia, rice, asparagus and a lemon garlic butter sauce. It’s soooo good. I pay the fish with paper towels to dry it, rub in seasonings on both sides (paprika,garlic powder,basil and salt and pepper) then rub on a little olive oil. Heat CAST IRON pan with a little olive oil to very hot. Add fish to pan and turn down heat a little,
 

Cook 3-4 minutes per side. Roast asparagus in oven (toss in olive oil and salt), rice in cooker. Make lemon butter sauce (sautee garlic gloves in butter, cook butter til browned not burnt, add lemon juice and pinch salt). Serve over fish and rice
