This year I made a resolution...to eat fish every week! I know the health benefits but have never really liked it. For a long time I have intended to learn how to cook/bake/grill fish and decided this was the year. So far I've been able to keep my resolution. Our local grocery store has a pretty good fresh meat counter, so each week I look to see what they have that is "wild caught" and is the best price. I usually buy cod, salmon, haddock or mahi-mahi. So far I have liked it all! If we are traveling, we eat fish at a restaurant. Here's some of my favorites:
I checked this book out from the library and have tried several of the recipes. I also learned that almost every recipe has you pat the fish dry, then sprinkle with salt and let sit before cooking. It helps the fish dry out.
PAN ROASTED SALMON WITH GARLIC AND THYME is a good one! The only way I liked salmon before was grilled on a cedar plank, so this is a new way to prepare it for me.
Pan roasted salmon with garlic and thyme
4 portions salmon
salt
4 T butter
4 garlic cloves, smashed
10 sprigs thyme
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Season the fish with salt and let it rest for 15 minutes. In a saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Place the fish skin side down. If using, add garlic and thyme, and cook without flipping until fish is almost done. Flip the fish to finish cooking. Serve with pieces of garlic, crisped thyme leaves, lemon and pan drizzle.
Here's another
recipe for
BAKED COD from Barefoot Contessa. It was a nice presentation, but a little too salty for me. I'm going to try it again.
is a great white fish that almost tastes like chicken to me. This
one is great. The Hubs likes to grill and all you do is sprinkle on the spices!
Here's a time-saver for you: When we grill fish, we kill two birds with one stone. I have The Hubs to put on some chicken breasts afterwards, so then we have chicken ready for the next night's dinner. 😊
