I'm super picky and leery of the freshness of the fish at the store. Or the good stuff is expensive. However, I do like getting the frozen mahi mahi from Trader Joe's. DH usually sprinkles some on adobo and grills them on foil so it doesn't stick. Then we make fish tacos. We're planning on doing this Friday!

They always ate fish on Fridays, but until he met me (Catholic) he didn't realize it was probably because good fish was available on Fridays to supply the Catholics. It makes me laugh, although I enjoy that it's a spot where our family traditions coincide. We like to bake fish because it's easy, and we often use frozen fish so that we can keep in on hand easily. Two recipes that we enjoy: - a version of this, with either cod or flounder: <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/231549/baked-flounder-with-panko-and-parmesan/" rel="nofollow">http://allrecipes.com/recipe/231549/baked-flounder-with-panko-and-parmesan/</a> -roasted shrimp: <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/spicy-lemon-garlic-shrimp/" rel="nofollow">http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/spicy-lemon-garlic-shrimp/</a> autumnleaves on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-2470515 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 20:22:42 +0000 autumnleaves 2470515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @looch: why didn't I think to search the blog! I just pinned the wasabi teriyaki salmon. I liked pesto on fish too and it's the only way DH eats pesto- on fish. The stuffed fish sounds simple but fancy. :happy: I should make them to impress my inlaws. autumnleaves on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-2470509 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 20:19:24 +0000 autumnleaves 2470509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @gingerbebe: thank you! Salmon was on sale at the store this week and Kraft had a similar recipe for salmon that I tried tonight. We really liked it. autumnleaves on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-2470505 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 20:16:37 +0000 autumnleaves 2470505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: thank you! I bought the tube of cilantro this weekend and plan to make the shrimp in the next week. I always feel like I can't use an entire bunch of fresh cilantro so I am looking forward to trying the paste out. looch on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-2469735 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 08:21:20 +0000 looch 2469735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No recipes specifically, but just a few ideas for you: There as a recipe on the blog for Wasabi Mayo Teriayki salmon, it's a crowd pleaser. I do fish very simply, I like to oven poach it in either fish stock or chicken stock, with very simple seasonings. I have also poached shrimp in broth and grape tomatoes, it's a knock off of Acqua Pazza (crazy water, literally) style of cooking. For salmon, another thing I do is spread a thin layer of pesto on it, surround it with grape tomatoes and bake. Works for any kind of fish. My family also makes stuffed fish, any filet you can roll will do, just sautee a mix of veggies (onion, carrot, cabbage), bind with a bit of breacrumbs, place a dollop at one end of the filet, roll and bake. gingerbebe on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-2466837 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 17:31:19 +0000 gingerbebe 2466837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I haven't tried it yet, but my friend keeps telling me mayo and parmesan cheese mixed together and spread on top of white fish like cod or tilapia is to die for. <a href="http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/easy-parmesan-crusted-tilapia-126660.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/easy-parmesan-crusted-tilapia-126660.aspx</a> Mrs. Lemon-Lime on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-2466768 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:50:41 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2466768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @autumnleaves: I sautee it stove top with just a smidge of olive oil. For the salmon I don't marinade it, but the teriyaki sauce rests on the whole salmon for a several minutes while I wait for the oven to pre-heat. autumnleaves on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-2466552 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:56:29 +0000 autumnleaves 2466552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @gingerbebe: @LindsayLou: thank you for all of the suggestions! I definitely want to try your fancy salmon and halibut. We made cod croquettes last year and they were so good but too time consuming to prep and cook with a toddler running around now. autumnleaves on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-2466530 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:52:46 +0000 autumnleaves 2466530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: how do you cook the shrimp - grill, sauté, or roast? Also I haven't cooked much salmon but do you let the salmon marinate in the teriyaki or do you add it just before baking? LindsayLou on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-2466353 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:50:41 +0000 LindsayLou 2466353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Salmon--we do grilled, pan seared, baked, tempura battered, or fish and chips style. My favorite is probably baked with pesto, olive oil, and salt and pepper. My husband loves pan seared with olive oil and red pepper flakes. I want to try making salmon chowder. Cod--we do fish tacos, fish and chips, or baked. We usually do fish tacos or bake it with Cajun seasoning, breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Halibut--fish and chips, grilled, or baked. I love herb and cheese crusted baked halibut. I found an awesome recipe using beechers cheese. gingerbebe on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-2466328 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:38:58 +0000 gingerbebe 2466328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Salmon I almost always roast it. If its just us, I cook it plain with olive oil and S&P. If its company, I get a whole side and top it with a thin layer of Dijon mustard, then top with a mixture of panko, lemon zest, thyme, olive oil, and S&P. Super easy and looks impressive. I also like making salmon cakes - I use the Barefoot Contessa's recipe for seasoning but used canned salmon or tuna. Then I chill the mixture, make uniform scoops using an ice cream scooper, roll them in panko, spray them with olive oil, and then bake them as opposed to fry. It makes a lot and they freeze really well (and make delicious salmon burgers!) If its a hardier fish, like tuna steaks or swordfish steaks, I generally do a ginger/soy marinade and grill/broil them. For swordfish, I'll also just grill them plain with oil, salt, and pepper and top them with a loose vinaigrette of chopped green herbs (parsley, mint, basil), lemon juice, olive oil, and S&P. Flaky white fish like cod, tilapia, snapper, etc is in the rotation a bit less often, but we'll usually pan sear it with like cajun seasoning or something and throw it in fish tacos. But in that type of application, frozen shrimp seems to be easier and less messy. I love really oily fishy fish, like mackerel and sardines, but DH isn't really a fan so I usually eat it out or I'll eat tinned sardines myself.

It's not really grilling weather for us so I am looking for something easy to do inside the house. I made salmon with cashew crust <a href="http://www.pbfingers.com/?s=cashew+salmon" rel="nofollow">http://www.pbfingers.com/?s=cashew+salmon</a> a few times but am looking for something else to try. Has anyone tried pecans with fish? I like pecan encrusted tilapia but am trying to eat less tilapia. Thanks in advance!

I do sometimes broil it in the oven, and we usually have a fish fry once a year or so, but for the most part, it's just grilled once it's cleaned. mrsjyw on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-1772092 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:36:04 +0000 mrsjyw 1772092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Bake and pan fry mostly! jhd on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-1772085 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:34:18 +0000 jhd 1772085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I bake it in the oven wrapped on foil with a little butter.

We don't fry anything at home. yoursilverlining on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-1772038 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:18:47 +0000 yoursilverlining 1772038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I like fish pretty much any way I can get it! (except fish sticks!) I eat fish several times a week. The cooking method depends on the fish: Delicate fish like sole (flounder), hake or trout I pan sear, bake or poach. Heartier fish like salmon, arctic char, Chilean sea bass (don’t eat it often because of warnings, but it’s so good), cod, halibut, mahi mahi, tuna or haddock we grill, pan sear, broil. I very rarely fry fish – it makes me feel bad to eat something so healthy and then prepare it so unhealthily. Ditto on why I don't prepare it with tons of butter, crackers, mayo, etc. I do definitely dig into fish and chips every so often though. My favorite fish are salmon, tuna steaks and sole. swurlygurl on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-1772036 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:18:27 +0000 swurlygurl 1772036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @travellingbee: If I'm making my own I usually find a new one online to try.

Otherwise I'll just pick something random at the store if I'm feeling like a change. I haven't tried anything bad! I use coconut oil because 'they' say it's better? DH and I have been trying to sub it for other oils. IDK that it's necessarily better, but we've started to grow to like the subtle coconut taste on things. We've even started adding a dash when we scramble eggs! snowjewelz on "How do you cook fish?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cook-fish#post-1772010 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:09:18 +0000 snowjewelz 1772010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @locavore_mama: Strangely I never ever liked steam fish...
