Favorite fish recipes? 🐟 😋

Just about ANY fish dish -
I like to Grill, AirFry, Bake my fish
I eat a lot of swordfish, codfish, tuna steaks, whitefish, and salmon
Simple is better -- usually dust with OldBay & other seasonings & airfry.
Like to eat with Rice and/or steamed vegetables.
I alternate sauces - cocktail sauce, remoulade, ketchup, but NEVER use tartar :)
 
Amazing on any fish, I use Ritz crackers and bake it in the oven & have been using this for years

airfrying doesn't dry it out?
 
A couple of tips have really helped me with fish. One is "The Canadian Method" -- 10 minutes per inch of fish thickness, really no matter how you're cooking it. It works!

Also, the owner of a famous fish restaurant was on TV and said don't flip the fish; it can't get that nice browning if you flip it, because fish doesn't cook long enough to brown either side, if you flip it. This advice changed my relationship with fish dinners!
 
Depends on what is available at a reasonable price and the time of year.

In summer I tend to grill it on a Cast iron pan. Sometimes with old bay, sometimes with Chinese 5 Spice, soy sauce and a spicy pepper powder of some sort, then drizzle sesame oil on it.

Sometimes I'll do Mahi Mahi tacos when that is available at a reasonable price.
For spices I use chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper.
I usually make a pineapple salsa with it as well.

In winter I will typically Sous Vide the fish and finish on a hot cast Iron pan.

Sometimes with butter and herbs in the Sous Vide bag, but also with Old Bay or Chinese 5 spice.
 
If you prefer your salmon not to be well done this recipe works particularly when doing a multi course meal as it remains succulent and buttery in texture no matter how long it takes to eat the preceding courses:

Lay a skinned and boned side of salmon on a sheet pan or cookie sheet. Brush fish with olive oil and roast in a preheated 250° oven (225° if using convention) for 20 minutes; plate and serve, alone or with your favorite sauce. You can also use 6 to 8 oz center cut slices instead of a whole side.

If you like bouillabaisse, you’ll be astounded by the ease of making and taste of this Rachel Ray adaption. Easy to swap out fish/seafood substitutions :

Finally, we are at the top of corn season on this end so this comes to mind (even though corn is not in the original recipe, lol). I’m biased, own it and still pronounce Rhode Island clam chowder the winner over New England and Manhattan chowders😆

No access to fresh clams? Use canned.
 
I don't make a lot of fish, but my mom makes salmon a lot and it's really good. All she does is heavily sprinkle the top with Cavender's Greek Seasoning, then broil in the oven. That's it. Simple and delicious.

Just added some of the seasoning to my next grocery order. Sounds like something I'd like but have never tried.
 
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.
 
In the morning slice up a red bell pepper, a green bell pepper and an onion (large veggies or buy two of each.) Cut fish into serving size portions. I use flounder but this recipe works for any type of fish. Marinate the veggies and the fish in zesty Italian dressing in separate bowls in the fridge all day until you're ready to cook. Arrange fish on a baking sheet (discard the fish marinade) and spoon the veggies over the top of the fish. Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven until the fish flakes with a fork. It doesn't take long, about 10-15 minutes. Serve over rice.

This recipe also works with chicken breasts, just adjust the cooking times accordingly.
