I know that with my diet, I will be eating a lot more fish, than red meat. My problem is, getting bored with the same old flavor.

I normally broil my fish, with a little lemon juice, or lemon pepper. That to me, is boring after eating it every day. lol.

Does anyone have any ideas for a new recipe / taste?

It's appreciated!

That would be boring to me after a while, too. Have you ever cooked fish on a gas or charcoal grill? I enjoy it that way, served with fresh salsa.

We have a lot of good fish recipes on the site, including Baked Catfish which is fish dipped in buttermilk then rolled in crushed crackers and baked. You could do it with any variety of fish, and season the crumbs for more flavor. Lemony Stuffed Filet of Sole sounds good, though I've not tried it.

If you like salmon, there is a great recipe for BBQ Roasted Salmon that I make all the time. You marinate the salmon in pineapple and lemon juice, then you roll it in a mixture of brown sugar, grated lemon zest, cinnamon, salt, and dried chipotle powder, then bake until done. I buy salmon filets at walmart or sams club, they usually come 5 to a package. I'll cook the entire package this way, then I freeze the individual portions.

Try sprinkling it w/garlic pepper. Or Mrs Dash. Or chili powder & a squeeze of lime.

If you look in the spices section of your average supermarket, there are about a gazillion different spices for all varieties of meat. I have become partial to cajun seasoning, myself.

If you're into easy recipes like I am, take 3/4 lb salmon (preferably skinless) coat it with a little olive oil, put it in a glass dish and season with Lawry's seasoned salt and some fresh ground pepper. Cover and microwave for 5 minutes. Ooooow baby, it's fine!! I haven't experimented with many other seasonings yet, but anything would work and any type of fish would work too. Give it a try.

That chowder recipe sounds yummy, thanks! I'll try it soon

Here Fishy:
I am surprised at all the great ideas. One recipe I like to do on the grill is spray an old pan & slice potatoes on the bottom. Put fish on top & spread fresh salsa on top. Yum.

Another salsa that is great with fish is Mango Habanero Salsa. Dice real cold mangos & just 1 habanero (wear gloves) & take out the seeds, add cilantro & green onions. After you grill or bake the fish put it on top.

Last weekend I did a shrimp stir fry on the grill in a grill basket - it was so smokey - I just didn't have to add a thing - but the fork.

Letz go fishing!

One thing I love to make is fish tacos. Now before most of you go YUCK here is the basic recipe.

Baked broil steam fish with whatever seasonings you want
Steam some corn tortillas
Shred the fish
Add it to the tortilla
Top with shredded cabbage, ff sour cream, lowfat cheeses, salsa.. etc.

Most places seem to make fish tacos with fried fish. This tastes better, IMHO and is better for you.


Allrecipes.com has a ton of fish recipes. I have tried many there and never get bored of my fish.

LOL, I would have never thought to make fish tacos! However, I guess they could be good I would probably make them from grilled fish and fresh salsa. Now I'm hungry!

Hope you like this one ...the 'guys' are kind of 'indifferent' about it, the gals love it! Enjoy ...or not!

Hi, My kids and I all liked this recipe, we substituted the 2% milk with skim and we also used the fat free parmesan cheese and it was fine. I have also included some of the nutritional info at the bottom. Hope you like it.

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (your preference)
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
2 Tablespoons milk (your preference)
4 orange roughy or catfish fillets (4 oz each)

In a shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, flour, paprika, salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg and milk. Dip fish fillets into egg mixture, then coat with the Parmesan mixture. Arrange in a greased baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 F for 25-30 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
