[mycarisabakedbeancan]

i know we should have fish more often but it's so boring!!
please give me some of recipes for a easy fish dinner for this evening!!!
Not fish and chips i'm as fat as a fool and am trying to stay away from chios

Cod or haddock baked with tomatoes peppers and olives, serve with rice.

Any white fish cooked in a Mornay cheese sauce, serve with new potatoes & a green vegetable.

Scallops, mussels, squid & chorizo rings cooked with paprika butter, serve with tagliatelle

A quick after work dinner we have those young’s lightly dusted basa fillets with roast Brocolli and new potatoes

salmon tacos too - salmon topped with Cajun spice, wrapped in foil and 15 mins in airfryer. Soft mini tortillas. Mashed avocado and a lime dressed salad

I'm making fish Thai curry for tea.

Baked salmon with stir fry

Kedgeree

Salmon salad

Roasted cod and garlic new potatoes

Seafood/prawn linguine

Fish curry

Fish cakes

I love fish and could live on it!

Before I leave for work I squeeze a load of lemon juice over some cod fillets, add plenty of black pepper and leave them in the fridge for the day.
When I get in I add the zest of a lemon, some freshly chopped parsley, basil and dill to some breadcrumbs (I always have a supply in the freezer blitzed from leftover bread.) Then add some finely grated Parmesan. Mix.
Spread top of fish fillet with a very thin layer of mayo and lie on baking sheet. Sprinkle crumb mixture on top and bake.

Cod Provençal.
salmon Or trout tray bake with peppers, asparagus, radish, spring onions.
BBC good food website have a nice recipe called fish mappas, type of curry.
Fish tacos.

My favourite is Jamie's fish tagine - he claims it takes 15 minutes and it doesn't take that much more - it does require special ingredients like saffron and preserved lemons but we make it all the time so once bought they get used (does lead to some v middle class conversations "darling we have run out of preserved lemons again").

Simper version: www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/fish-recipes/quickest-white-fish-tagine/

Pan fried salmon (or other fish) with roasted new potatoes and vegetables

King prawn linguine (or seafood linguine and add scallops/squid/mussels)

Seafood risotto

Salmon, leek and potato tray bake

Fish pie

Prawn stir fry

Coconut fish curry - Meera Sodha has a good recipe for an Indian curry, you could also do Thai curries

Smoked haddock risotto - cook the risotto rice in stock (and white wine if you want) and some diced onions. Cook the smoked fish, flake it into the risotto with some frozen peas and rocket. Add a spoon of creme fraiche and grate over some parmesan. Delicious.

We have teriyaki salmon and prawn coconut curry very often. Both very quick and easy.

I decided to up our fish intake in January. It's the only new year resolution I've ever kept. We now eat fish twice a week, sometimes three always at least one oily portion - usually salmon, trout or mackerel.

Google fish curries or fish masala for ideas. That probably best for white fish fillets. You can make kedgeree with flaked smoked mackerel fillets and it's not just a breakfast thing. I've even got into kippers with scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast. They're nice but very smelly.

You can fry or grill fresh mackerel fillets so the skin is crispy and eat them with rice or boiled new potatoes in their skins with some butter and green beans, broccoli or roast tomatoes. Make a sharp sauce to cut through the oiliness by boiling down a tin of rhubarb with some sugar, cinnamon, cloves or maybe some ginger instead and butter. If it's in syrup instead of water don't worry. Just use some of the syrup instead of adding sugar. You want a dollopy consistency like apple or cranberry sauce. It makes about four portions.

Here are some recipes. I don't know how to format them since the MNHQ update but you can probably still see them.

I love this cafedelites.com/easy-honey-garlic-salmon/ but I've learned it works better if you cook the salmon skin side down for a few minutes and then put the honey and soy etc in to let it cook together for a few minutes' more. Skip the keeping-warm-in-the-oven bit and it doesn't need cooking on the other side because the heat will get through and if you try to flip it over you'll probably break it. It's nice with stir-fried noodles and vegetables or rice. The other recipes look good too.

This is also great and you either use just raw frozen prawns or a selection of frozen mixed seafood www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/chilli-tomato-and-prawn-pasta/

Best till last - I love www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2007/apr/11/foodanddrink.shoppingand will eat it tonight with trout fillets but you can use any white fish or salmon fillets - skin on or off. You don't have to follow the whole recipe. I always put in grated lemon zest and juice instead of the preserved lemons and though the fennel is nice you can leave it out. If you use it slice it really thinly because it takes a long time to steam. It's very easy to make but seems quite special.

Some great suggestions. I’ll add: Fish Pie lasagna (it’s a fish pie with pasta instead of potato, we sometimes do it just with spaghetti).

thankyou all for these great ideas!
just going out now to search for my fish!
I cannot see the recipe for the best till last one!
But of course now that's the one I want!!

Fish pie is very easy / quick . We also have haddock cheese bake quite often which is just cherry tomatoes seasoned and drizzled with oil , skinless haddock fillets on top, cover with grated cheese and cook for 20 minutes . Serve with peas / crusty bread etc .

The youngs tempura battered fish fingers done in air fryer for 10 minutes are stunningly good- bang on a sandwich with rocket and tartar sauce and a side salad- I have it at least once a week

Scallops, mussels, squid & chorizo rings cooked with paprika butter, serve with tagliatelle

Off to the fishmonger. This sounds divine!

Slightly less inventive but fish pie is always a winner in our house.

If fish and seafood were not quite so pricey I could def be pescatarian

If simply frying, a tip from a recent Times article on chefs tips has helped me - fry the fish on the skin side until 90% done and turn it over just to kiss the other side. It's made my fish skin nice and crispy

@mycarisabakedbeancan here it is. If it doesn't work Google Allegra McEvedy fish and couscous

oops here's the link www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2007/apr/11/foodanddrink.shopping

Love fish. My meat-loving husband's been away with work this week so I've had fish every night!

Barbeque Salmon.
Fish cakes (Aldi Deluxe are very good).
Panaeng or thai green fish curry with Lidl seafood mix.
Also Aldi fish burgers (fairly new?) are divine, come in 3 variations.
Prawns with garlic, tomato and chilli served with crusty bread.
Hake baked with herbs.
Monkfish kebabs done on the BBQ are divine!

This is dead easy though not cheap.
Whole sea bass (or 2 matched size fillets).

Lightly oil a baking dish or tray. Smother one of the inside sides with Bomba paste. (If you've never tried it, get some ... good for all sorts of things). Cover that with lots of halved black olives. Put the other half on top, maybe with some more Bomba on that. Bake for about 20 mins at 200°C. Ideally roast some peppers at the same time to have with it.

@ErrolTheDragon
I've googled bomba paste. I presume not tomato purée so is it like a Calabrian spicy paste? Not heard of it before

It's tomato purée + other veg and stuff - nice balance of flavours that hits the spot for something like this imo.

Thank you I see - with sofrito and vino on closer inspection. I'll have a go with it 😊 thank you

Oh my goodness, @PurBal fish pie lasagne is such a brilliant idea!
I am definitely going to try it.
