Posted: 3/17/2008 3:00:45 PM | I like skate wing.. marinated in orange juice and fresh coriander.
Throw it on the barbecue in one of those baskets (the skate wing is very flaky and light) that hold it in place with slices of orange. The orange carmelizes nicely, and the skate wing falls of of the "bones" (more like cartiledge than bone).
It's great over mixed greens with some fresh strawberry slices. God I miss summer, can you tell?
A quick fish recipe ? Mixed shell fish (out of the shell) there are some great packets of frozen blend, for a great quick after work recipe. Walmart has a great one with just clams, mussels, and scallops.
Sautee onion or shallots and garlic in olive oil.
Toss in about a half bag of frozen seafood (depends on how much you want to make). Sautee over medium high heat until there is slight carmelization (be careful not to overcook.. it's a pretty quick recipe).
Remove from heat, deglaze pan with white wine or beer, toss with additional olive oil, sea salt (to taste), fresh cracked pepper.
Great with veggies, too. I like it with bell pepper, spinach and snow peas. Served over a multigrain pasta.
Tasty, healthy, and quick. | |

Posted: 3/17/2008 3:27:57 PM | My favorite thing to do with salmon is make a pineapple salsa.
I either BBQ or oven bake the salmon in foil
Diced about a cup of pineapple, throw in some finely chopped cilantro, parsley, (red onion if you like ) and salt and cracked black pepper.
Serve the cold salsa on the hot fish
I make an incredible pecan crusted trout with lemon cream sauce too. (NOT as healthy as the above..but so good). I mix finely chopped pecans , thyme , salt and pepper with a bit of olive oil so its kind of a paste and press that onto the fish. Bake in the oven. Make a basic light cream sauce and just as it is coming off the heat , stir in a squeeze of lemon and pour over the fish before serving | |

Posted: 3/17/2008 3:49:19 PM | Saute some fine sliced fresh fennel and onion in olive oil just for a couple of minutes. Then toss in some fresh (raw) spinach and cook just for a minute or two. If you like a hint of smokey flavor add just a tough of fine diced cooked bacon. Add just a pinch of kosher salt and a twist or two of cracked black pepper. Place this over a lightly sauted fish like grouper. I serve this with a Lemon Beurre blanc (essentually a reduction of white wine, lemon juice, splash of cream and whipped in whole butter at the end).
This is easy to do and it's also great with Basmati rice which is very flavorful and easy to make...
Good luck and anymore questions about food, please drop me a line anytime!!

Posted: 3/18/2008 5:17:55 AM | | I love Tilapia baked in the oven. I baste it with a lemon/butter/dill sauce. Very very good for your health and the fish is just so tasty!! I want to try different types of fish. Am not a salmon lover at all though. I think I need to experiment more! | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 5:05:06 AM | I really enjoy whole deep fried fish. Simply get a whole gutted fish no bigger than 300mm in length (12 inches) so it will cook quickly and fit in an average wok.
I like what we in Australia call sqire or baby snapper, barramundi, mangrove jack or any white fleshed fish that really doesn't need to be bled when caught. Simply put 3 slices into the flesh at 45 degrees to the lateral line on both sides and smother in fish sauce all over the exterior, in the flesh cuts and in the cavity. Keep basting the fish with the runoff fish sauce for 5 minutes and then leave in the fridge covered with cling film for at least an hour.
Get a hot wok with enough vegetable oil (i prefer soy oil) to cover at least half the fish when added. When the fish hits the hot hot oil, it will spit a bit so just hold the fish by the tail and slowly let it slide into the wok. With safe implements you can carefully turn the fish after a few minutes if you don't have enough oil to cover it all. The tail section will cook quicker so after it turns lightly golden I ten to drag the fish's tail out of the oil and up the side of the wok.
If you have a few dinner guests you can cook a few of these up and munch on them with some simple stir fried vegies.
depending on the fish I won't even scale it fully as the scales really crisp up with the skin and adds an extra crunch dimension to the fish. Be sure to throw out the oil afterwards as it will go festy and rancid reasonably soon after cooling.

The result is a light and delicate fish. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 12:26:41 PM | I've won over fish haters with this recipe.
Any kind of fish will do with this:
I line a baking pan with foil for easy cleanup,
evoo the bottom of the pan,
lay in fish filets with olive oil covering them,
spice with cayenne pepper, Lawry's, Frontier's chicken broth powder, & Italian chopped herb blend, parsley.
Top with chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped marinated artichoke hearts .
Spray with olive oil to keep from drying out.
Optional changes: cilantro for the parsley, or the addition of kalamata olives or tiny capers. | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 12:36:52 PM | wow, alot of good recipes submitted here....mine are relatively simple that I do for the kids since they aren't into heavy spices or creams, and they absolutely hate breaded meats. I usually fix any frozen fish I buy in the microwave, since it saves time. Usually 5 to 6 min. on high for most cuts, and 7-8 for tuna steaks or salmon.
I use a baking dish with a lid, and melt half a stick of butter , blend in 1/4 c. lemon juice, then place my fish fillets in...turning each one to coat, then sprinkle fairly heavily with lemon pepper seasoning.....then place the lid on and microwave according to the above directions. Another way they like it is to take steamed tuna or any other aromatic fish, chunked and tossed into rice that has been cooked with dillweed, then sprinkled liberally with lemon juice. Serve it with plain yogurt on the side.
But, an all time favorite summer dish of ours when I was growing up was a salad my mom made with salmon, mackrel, or tuna. Because we live in the South, it was convenient for her to buy the canned fish, but it's even better with fresh baked or steamed fish. She would prepare maccaroni and drain it, then cool it with cold water to chill it a bit, draining it a second time. Then would add a mixture of chopped onion, salad dressing (miracle whip usually), pickle relish and then fold in the fish. She'd do it in the morning and chill it for a couple of hours, and then serve it with pork-and-beans and either steamed asparagus or broccoli, and sometimes just grilled or baked veggies.
Simple, but very tasty. | |
