I want to try fish!

I want to try fish. I didn't like it before surgery but since I am eatting healthier I want to try it again! So I am asking for some types of fish and some recipes on how to cook them! I appreciate your responses in advance! :)

 This has a little bit of sweetener in it but its very tasty...

Salmon with honey (sort of) balsamic glaze

2 salmon fillets
1 1/2 Tblsp Mayonnaise
1 1/2 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
1 T Honey (but if the honey will bother you or you dump try agave nectar)
1 1/2 tsp sesame seeds
3/4 tsp dried oregano
3/4 tsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic minced.

Whisk together the mayo and the balsamic vinegar until smooth.  Mix in all other ingredients and stir until combined.  Place fillets in baking dish, skin side down and spoon glaze over the top and sides.  Bake fillets at 375 degrees for 12-18 minutes.  Cooking time will change based on the size/thickness of the fillets.  The fish should flake easily with a fork when done.

If you use a low fat/non fat mayo or use one with healthier olive oil it would be better than the standard 'full fat' mayo.  I use Helmans made with Olive Oil as my standard mayo.

Hope you like it.  I love baked fish!

Hungry Girl coated it with Fiber One Cereal (crushed)...I tried it..I had to season the crumbs really well with garlic powder and onion powder...I pan fried it in a lil spray butter..I don't like fish if it isn't fried, but I really liked this...for a lil added flavor I used dijon mustard to coat the fish and then dipped it in the cereal mixture..really good!

Here is my Mom's recipe for salmon cakes. (We modify - see bottom)
Salmon isn't a real "fishy" tasting fish, and these cakes are liked by the world's 2nd most picky eater (my oldest), but the world's pickiest eater (my youngest) won't even touch them - although I think she'd like them if she tried them. Currently, she will only eat chicken.



 

Salmon Cakes

1 lb can of salmon
1/2 cup of chopped onion
1/4 cup butter or other fat (melted)
1/3 cup salmon liquid
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 tsp powdered mustard
1/2 tsp salt (less if using Old Bay)
Old Bay to taste

Directions

drain salmon, reserve liquid. Flake salmon. Cook onion in butter until tender. Add salmon liquid, crumbs, eggs, parsley, mustard, salt and salmon. Mix well. Shape into 6 cakes and roll in crumbs. Place cakes in heavy frying pan which contains 1/8 inch of fat, hot but not smoking. Fry at moderate heat. When cakes are brown on one side, turn carefully and brown the other side.
Cooking time: 5-8 minutes.
Drain on absorbant paper towels.

* I typed it exactly. We broil them and I think that tastes better. We use reduced fat margarine.

I hope that you enjoy them!

Have you tried tilapia? I never much cared for it before the surgery, but it digests so easily and has such a light taste that it's become my favorite--and it has zero fat and is almost 100 pct. protein. I just broil it briefly after coating with flour (actually my wife does it, so I'm not sure how long to cook it or whatever). It's fantastic! Light anf flaky.

We LOVE this one, so easy, just 20 minutes in the oven and it taste awesome. We get it from Wal-Mart in the frozen seafood section: Treasures From The Sea: Parmesan Encrusted Tilapia
