Fish recipes - healthy eating made delicious!
If you need a reason to use fish recipes, here it is: eating fish on a regular basis is good for you!
Fish is high in protein and relatively low in fat. It's also a source of many vitamins and minerals. Eating fish regularly - as often as two to three times a week - may even reduce your risk of heart disease.
However, for years I ate fish only in restaurants because I had no idea how to cook it myself. I had the idea that cooking any kind of seafood was mysterious, and that only "good cooks" could do it well.
Of course, all I needed was a few great fish recipes! (You'll find a few of my favourite fish recipes at the bottom of the page.) Now that I have them, I know that fish makes great quick meals. I love cooking fish - and eating it!
I came upon your site for the first time yesterday and decided to make the
Savory Tomato Fish Fillets. I am a novice cook and it was only the second or third
recipe I have EVER made but it turned out delicious!! My boyfriend was so
impressed and so was I!

Fish is the answer for a cook in a hurry because it cooks so fast! You can steam or pan-fry fish in as little as ten minutes! (The exact time will depend on the thickness of the fish.) I always use fish fillets because they are the easiest: there are usually no bones to worry about (but always check just in case!) In my area, I can usually find sole, basa, cod and snapper. I don't have a favourite; once they are dressed up, to be honest, I can't tell one from another! Don't overcook your fish! You may be surprised by how quickly it cooks. Here's how to test for doneness: if the fish is opaque (no longer see-through) and it flakes easily with a fork, it's probably done. You can also press it with a finger. If your finger leaves a dent, or if the fish is still a bit "squishy", it's not quite cooked. Here are some of my favourite fish recipes.
Cheesy Baked Fish
is easy to prepare and tastes great!
For a fast complete meal that is a bit out of the ordinary, try Salmon Scalloped Potatoes. You'll need a
blender
for this one.
Lemon-Garlic Fish
uses just a few ingredients to make a delicious pan-fried fish supper.
So does
Fish with Red Onion and Red Pepper.
It's colorful and tasty.
For something out of the ordinary, try
Fish with Bananas!
Some surprising flavors mix very nicely in this unusual dish.
Wondering how to cook salmon fillets?
Greek Salmon
is an attractive and delicious dish. You won't believe how easy it is to make!
In the mood for fish sticks?
Fish Sticks Parmesan
are tastier and healthier than packaged fish sticks, but take almost no more time to make.
Salmon Patties
make a nice quick meal. Try serving them with
Tzatziki.
Thanks a lot for these recipes! Since my mom started working full time, I have taken over cooking dinner. It’s a real help to have these on hand! The directions are straightforward for an amateur like me, and the cooking doesn’t cut into my homework time. Thanks again!

If you're planning a special meal, try serving
Baked Fish with Creamy Dill Sauce.
Your guests will never guess how quick this dish is to prepare!
My family's new favorite fish recipe is
Fish with Easy Lime-Ginger-Sauce.
You'll be amazed at how easy it is to make and how delicious it tastes!
I am making the ginger-lime fish recipe, and I have to tell you that I
literally feel like I am "cheating".
I don't know how you find these great
recipes, but when I come to your web site
1. I know I will find something to cook with stuff I already have around the
house.
2. I know it will be good and that my family will like it.
3. I know it will be fast and easy to make.
