Do you have a fish preference? I have a tuna recipie that Demi swears by...

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

For the purposes of this exercise, no.

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

And I love tuna!

I've made it a couple of times to great reviews.

What kind of fish? I have lots of fabulous fish recipes....is it tuna? Salmon? A white fish? You could also post this to food_fiends...

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

My problem today is a severe lack of inspiration combined with a desire for novelty. I think in my ideal world it would be a whitefish recipe with some unusual combination of flavors I hadn't tried before, like, uh, orange-caper-horseradish salsa or something.

[epilady.livejournal.com]

I make a lemon-butter-caper sauce for white fish that is really tasty:

Marinate fillets in lemon juice and cointreau. Finely mince shallots, sautee in butter, remove shallots from pan. Add fillets, sautee until not quite done (they keep cooking after you remove them!). Remove from pan and keep warm. Deglaze pan with a little champagne vinegar, lemon juice and dry white wine. Plate fish, pour thickened lemon butter sauce over fish and sprinkle room-temperature or warm capers over top. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice and fresh steamed veggies.

If you want something more zesty, try baking the fish in a spicy tomato-olive sauce. There are numerous recipes for this from Mexico and the mediterranean.

what kind of fish and how exciting?
Tessa makes great white fish (not whitefish) with tomatoes and peppers and onions on top.
I have made salmon with a sweet and spicy topping that's great (although I can't remember what it was like without the recipe which is at home, so that might be sort of useless).

I dunno if they count as exciting, but they're both yummy.

[fanw.livejournal.com]

My standard is marinating salmon in equal parts soy sauce, cooking oil, and bourbon. Just turn it skin side up and let it soak up the goodness. Then bake as usual.

Yummy!

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

That sounds simple and good!

[trom.livejournal.com]

On a similar note, grab this recipe for soy/maple salmon

[dolohov.livejournal.com]

I am always unreasonably excited to make fish en papillote. Alton Brown's recipe is a good place to start (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_24167,00.html)

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

I've never done that! That is an excellent reason to try. Exciting! Thanks!

[fengshui.livejournal.com]

I tend to usually just buy the fish, cut it up and eat as sushi, but I have a feeling that doesn't match your needs. :)

Alton's tuna recipies are very yummy. I'd check those out, as are most things in the Best Recipe cookbooks.

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

Alas! No.

I should make more of Alton's recipes. They've really all been good so far.

[catya.livejournal.com]

I stole a recipe from bbbsg - take cream cheese, spinach (frozen & reheated), goronzola, pine nuts, and garlic, and smother salmon in it and then bake.

Yummmmmy. And the leftove topping stuff (from before you bake it) makes a nice spread on crackers too.

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that sounds quite tasty.

[lcohen]

how long do you need to bake it for and at what temperature?

also, yum.

[crouchback.livejournal.com]

Fish, or seafood in general?

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

I think I'm more in a fish mood, though if you have a fantastic shellfish recipe, I would definitely save it to try later. :)

coraline and I made fabulous Gary Danko horseradish encrusted salmon medallions. I HIGHLY recommend them! You can find the recipe on his website, and pics are on my LJ and I can find them if you're interested :)

Making them as medallions though, that was way nifty and a GREAT way to do salmon! I highly recommend it! Look at the website for that part, for sure!

aw man, you beat me to it :)
but i pointed to my LJ which i wrote the recipe out in, with my notes :)

[tcb.livejournal.com]

I don't know that it's exciting, but take some tilapia filets (fresh or thawed frozen from TJs), dip them in an egg wash, and then coat them with bread crumbs that are spiced to your preference (we happen to like curry, garam masala, and pepper), then pab-fry them over medium-high in two tablespoons of cooking oil, serve with rice (we usually flavor the rice a bit, too), and a veggie.

yum!

Easy mango salmon

2 mangoes, one bottle Consorizo Mango Dressing (), one huge fillet of salmon. Cut mango into strips, put fish in tin foil, coat liberally with mango dressing, place mango strips on top, seal tin foil as best as you can, put wrapped fish onto baking pan, broil until done. Fish is done when it's opaque, rather than translucent, and flakes when you poke at it with a fork.

[sinboy.livejournal.com]

oops Dressing can be purchased online (http://www.ricedietstore.com/comadr.html)

I"ve been meaning to try this

Yucatan Fish with Crisp Garlic
(Originally glomped from the New York Times)

4 tbsp. neutral oil, such as corn or canola, divided
5 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 large or 8 small fillets of flounder or other flatfish, 1 1/2 lb. or more
3 small hot dried red chiles, or to taste
1/2 c. fresh squeezed lime juice, divided
1 c. cherry or grape tomatoes, optional
1/2 c. chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Combine 2 tablespoons oil with garlic in a small, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking pan occasionally, until garlic browns, 5 to 10 minutes; season with a little salt and pepper, and turn off heat.

Meanwhile, put remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. A minute later, add fish and chiles and cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add all but a tablespoon or 2 of lime juice, along with tomatoes, if desired. Cook another 2 minutes or so, until fish is cooked through. Do not turn fish.

Carefully remove fish to a platter. Stir cilantro into pan juices and pour, with tomatoes, over fish, along with garlic, its oil and remaining lime juice. Serve immediately, preferably with a nice loaf of crusty bread.

I'm really partial to a Thai fish curry steamed in banana leaves known as (horrible transliteration) "haw mok", or "haw mok pla", in Thailand, or "amok" in Cambodia.

There are many regional variations [baking it in a hollowed out acorn squash is a common one]. Googling for "haw mok" will get you a few versions. klingonlandlady and I make it occasionally, using a recipe we've assembled from a a few different sources and our collective memory of versions we got in Thailand. Damned yummy.

[coraline]

yes!
this looks super-facy but it's really easy to do, and VERY tasty.

i'm headed out the door for a wake, but when i return i'll type up a yummy recipe i had the other night which involves whitefish and various kinds of nuts. it's superyummy.

I like fish

[trouble4hire.livejournal.com]

My standard fish recipe is to get a fillet of something, shake it in a bag with flour, and fry it in butter. I've also had good luck making a marinade from melted butter and wine, or port and raspberries, marinading the fish for half an hour or so, then broiling it with more of the marinade poured on top every few minutes. My last fish experiment involved crushing pine nuts and dipping the fish in them to form a crust. It didn't work super, but I was trying to do it without eggs (because of our common friend). Tasted good, though.

Re: I like fish

[nitouche.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Oooh! Icon love! The fish sounds tasty too.

[gashlycrumb.livejournal.com]

It might be a little boring, but I love whitefish (such as tilapia) baked in equal parts butter and lemon juice and seasoned with black pepper and green onions. It's a quick, simple dish which tastes much fancier than you'd think :)

[muckefuck.livejournal.com]

Do you have access to a dishwasher?

[aroraborealis.livejournal.com]

I love any recipe that starts with this question.

nutty fishy

[chaggalagirl.livejournal.com]

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup prepared brown mustard
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 chopped mixed nuts
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cayenne pepper
1 pount whitefish fillets

1. preheat oven to 375 degrees F. lightly grease a medium baking dish.
2. in a small bowl, blend mayonnaise and brown mustard. in a medium bowl, mix dry bread crumbs, shredded coconut, chopped mixed nuts, sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper.
3. dip fish in the mayonnaise mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture. arrange coated fillets in the prepared baking dish.
4. bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

this is yummy, and would also be great on chicken.

[cutieperson]

you inspired me to make fish tonight!
in the oven now is trout which has marinated in lime juice, sesame oil, olive oil, and a little rice wine vinegar. on top of it will go a salsa of fresh tomatoes, avocados, and caramelized onions. there was also a smidge of lime juice tossed with the tomatoes and avocados before the onions were added in.

[hissilliness.livejournal.com]

First, take an exciting fish...

[pekmez.livejournal.com]

I keep thinking "whitefish" (as in the stuff that weird Jews spread on bagels, which I've never had other than in some salted-preserved preparation) rather than "white fish" as in the category that includes many non-tuna, non-salmon fishes.

but for "white fish", I highly recommend a recipe in the Elephant Walk Cookbook for caramelized white fish. I usually use defrosted tilapia filets from Trader Joe's, and skip the pork they say to add in nearly equal quantities to the fish. I can't be bothered to type the whole thing in, but you basically marinate the fish in a mix of mushroom soy sauce and fish sauce, and fry some garlic, then caramelize some sugar, mix in the fish marinade, and cook the fish in sweet sticky salty goodness for a while while your rice cooks.

So what did you do, in the end, anyway? :)
