Your tried and tested fish recipes

[Bobbins]

Looking for inspiration. Anyone got any yummy recipes?

get some white fish. put on some slices of garlic, a sprinkle of tarragon and lashings of butter and lemon juice. wrap up in tin-foil and slap in oven for about 20 mins or so (or 30 if the fish was frozen).

One of my favourite easy recipes!

Salmon grilled with a pesto, lemon and breadcrumb crust. Just mix the pesto, breadcrumbs and juice of half a lemon (per 2 fillets, whole lemon and more of everything to serve 4), grill the salmon fillets on one side, then spread the mixture onto the ungrilled side when you turn the fish.
Goes nicely with couscous with mint and spring onion, and a nice tomato, avocado and chilli salad on the side.
Bon appetit - can also give recipe for smoked cod and leek risotto if required...

Kedgerree, yum!

one cod, coated in batter with nice greasy chips, yum, or do you just want healthy recipies

Marina> yes please. The salmon one sounds delish!

eefs> I'm craving good fish and chips actually. Think I'm gonna have to have them tonight. Haddock and chips I think, I wish I knew which was the best fish and chip shop near me. I am very fussy about the chips...got to be slightly soggy but with lots of crispy bits IYKWIM. Harry Ramsden's is too expensive I think.

Blummy, my mouth is watering.

Ok, Bobbins, you need a knob of butter, a little olive oil, a glass of v. dry white wine, about a pint of made-up Marigold bouillon, about 1lb of undyed smoked cod, three fat leeks, a couple of cloves of garlic, and risotto rice (we use vialone nano). Plus black pepper to season.
Melt the butter with the olive oil in heavy-bottomed pan and sweat the chopped garlic until it starts to go transparent. Add the rice and coat it in the buttery garlic. Toast it for a minute or too until it's all warm then tip in the wine and sizzle. Adding pepper about now would be good. When nearly all the wine is evaporated, start adding hot stock, a little at a time - standard risotto method. About seven minutes in, add the finely chopped leeks. About 12 minutes in, add the fish, which should be cubed. (Cod is better than haddock because it has less tendency to flake into little pieces, but either tastes great). By the time the fish is cooked, the rice should be done to perfection. Some chopped chives garnish this well if you happen to have them around.

Wow...that sounds scrummy, and I already have the marigold in the cupboard. Might make that tomorrow. Thanks

Take 4 fish fingers, grill until cooked and shove between two slices of buttered bread. Add sauce if required.

Soup - you forgot to add that the bread must be best white sliced.

Hmmm... personally I prefer cut-from-a-loaf multigrain with lots of butter (and it DOES have to be butter).

Soupy, I know this sounds disgusting but my dp puts a bit of lemon curd on the toast with his fish fingers.

Well, you do put lemon on fish so it's not that wierd. Although my gut reaction is still EUEWWWW!

Jamie Oliver's tray baked salmon. Put salmon fillets on one side of a baking tray. In a bowl mix a couple of handfuls of blanched fine beans, a handful of cherry tomatoes and black olives with some olive oil, salt and black pepper. Put this mixture on the other side of the baking tray to the salmon. Lay strips of anchovy over the top of the mixture. Bake for about 20 minutes until the salmon is cooked and the anchovies have melted. Mmmmm. Gorgeous with some lovely buttered new potatoes.

SoupD - there you go, getting all Delia on me.

Jamie Oliver's fish pie.... (book2) - FAB!

Easy - peasy - empty carton of supermarket fresh neapolitan pasta sauce into shallow dish. take piece of skinless boneless cod from fish counter of s/m; (about 12oz) cut into two and lay on top of tomato sauce. Can top with breadcrumbs if feeling fancy. Oven bake for 25 - 30 mins. Serve with salad, and if peckish, mashed potato (sometimes with teaspoon of pesto added). Fantastically easy, very tasty, and VVV healthy

spicy fish burgers with a cucumber relish - brilliant......( for four)

300g each of cod and smoked cod roughly chopped ( skinned and boned too of course)
1 onion chopped
curry powder - to personal taste
pinch salt and cracked pepper

whizz in the blender or processor until it is sticking - not pureed of course

scoop out into a bowl and divide into four serves

Shape into burgers - place on a plate in the fridge to 'set'

mix together natural, low fat plain yoghurt, grated cucumber and some dill.... this forms your relish

refrigerate until ready to serve

cook burgers in pan and then create your burger with salad and relish....

yummy and very quick. As I am only cooking for two - i make the recipe and feeze the other two ready for a night when we are in a hurry or just want something light.

we also grill salmon or trout ... mix lemon/lime juice with dill and sit the pieces in that then grill on the grill/george foreman grill... serve with salad or veges.. yummy..

MMMMM these sound lovely. (apart from the lemon curd and fish finger dish- sorry Doormat!) I might have to make some fishy risottos and fingers and pies soon.

In moments of knackered lack of imagination, smoked mackerel shredded into cooked basmati rice, along with frozen peas, forms the basis of a surprisingly nice emergency sub-kedgeree. Add chopped tomatoes, lemon juice, artichoke hearts, etc, as available and/or desired...

Marina, did the salmon, pesto breadcrumby dish yesterday (with the couscous too). Fab! Highly recommend it to anyone else. Looking forward to lunchtime (already!) cos have the leftovers with me.

Fionn will back me up with this one - I got it out a magazine years ago and bizarrely she has the same recipe!

if you're feeling v rich there's a potato layre with smoked salmon which is also yummy tho v calorific!

We had sea bass and rosemary tonight - dead easy, you score some sea bass fillets, shove rosemary in the scores, drizzle olive oil on and then cook at gas mark 5 for about 30 mins in foil parcels. We had new pots and broccoli with it mmmmmm...
