How do you cook fish?

[JulieL]

I am just beginning to cook fish. I was cooking it in foil in the oven w/spices, lemon juice and butter. Is there another yummy way to cook fish w/out using butter?

Hi Julie.
I'm not a big fish eater, but my teenager made some salmon today. She used Pam lemon spray and herbs. Not sure if that helps but it is an idea.

Hi.

I coat my fish (usually flouder, scrod or the like) with flour only and fry it in olive oil or a "fake" butter and garlic...YUMMY and not as bad for you as breaded fished fried in vegetable oil or real butter or something.

Hope this helps!

Have a great work out!

I use olive oil in a sprayer for my cooking. Sometimes I will use a little italian dressing rubbed over the fish. A small amount of a good pesto with olive oil in it is good as well.

Grilling it is my favorite, always rub a tiny bit of olive oil, seals in the tenderness and never over cook add a little cajun seasoning . My favorite grilled halibut or ahi, yum :9

I like broiled haddock (little butter, lemon, spices). I also do this with orange roughy. For salmon, I marinate in this wonderful salmon marinade that is available here and I either broil it in oven, put it on the George Foreman grill or grill outside on these special planks that I get from the same store as the marinade. It smokes it. Now I'm hungry!!

A tablespoon of olive oil or enough to coat my skillet, lots of garlic, dash of salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. (Any of your favorite herbs will do.)

Trader Joe's has a product called "Soy Vey" marinade, it comes in various flavors, my favorite is Very Very Teriyaki (or something like that). You marinate for 30 min then broil or grill. Yum. Very good on Salmon. You may find it elsewhere.

I use a food steamer for my fish, eggs, vegetables and just about anything... I add whatever spices I feel like or italian dressing works well too. No butter needed. Hmmmm...I think I know what I'm having for supper tonight!

Olive oil, salt & pepper and some fresh herbs. I always grill fish outdoors. I can't stand a lingering fish smell. The oiler the fish, the more the smell hangs in the air. Salmon is delicious grilled on the BBQ, but cooked inside, the smell lives on forever...yuck.

I steam my food a lot with the Turbo Cooker. What do you use?

Most times I'll steam my fish with a steam cooker. But other times I'll sprinkle Butter Buds and pepper and bake on 400 degress for about 20-30 minutes. My favorite is Salmon.

What about poaching? That takes no fat at all and is very easy. I poached Halibut in a water and white wine comibination with some herbs and lemon juice I think. Best part is there is no odor. I have 3 cats and NONE of them realized I was cooking fish. I've also done the baking in foil bit too, using a small amount of olive oil, and lemon juice plus herbs salt and pepper.

RE: ANGIE

Susan-
I use the Oster brand steamer/rice cooker. That's another thing I use it for...BROWN RICE! I throw a chicken bouillion cube in with the water for a little extra flavor.

OH! I just got this delicious recipe from FoodTV.com for halibut. It's really easy too.

4 (6-8 oz) portions halibut fillets
salt and pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 shallot, sliced
1/2 cp white wine
1 can diced tomatoes, well drained
1/4 lemon
20 leaves fresh basil, torn or rolled and shredded with your knife, chiffonade (whatever the heck "chiffonade" means)

Season fish w/salt and pepper. In a large skillet, add the oil. Arrange fish in the pan and turn to coat in oil, then add garlic, shallots and wine. Top each fillet with 1/3 of the tomatoes. Place the pan on the stove top and bring the liquid to a boil over medium high heat. Top the pan with a tight fitting lid and reduce heat to moderate. Cook fish 8-10 minutes until opaque and flaky, but not dry. Carefully transfer fish topped with tomatoes to dinner plates or serving plate with a thin spatula. Spoon pan juices over the fish. Squeeze the wedge of lemon over the cooked fish and top each fillet with lots of basil. Serve immediately.

Now...when I made it...I had no wine and substituted chicken broth. The grocery store also was out of basil leaves, so I omitted that. But it still turned out really yummy.

It just went above freezing yesterday, first time in 3 weeks...

I grill fish outside, even if it smells good I don't want to smell it 3 weeks later!
