Do you have an easy fish recipe for me?

Buy two wild salmon steaks. Sear them on both sides in some olive oil; then add chicken broth and simmer for a few minutes, until just cooked through. Serve with fresh dill sprigs and lemon wedges.

Super duper easy.
Get white fish
Place in tin foil
add lemon, butter, herbs
wrap up
throw in oven for ~15–20 min
Enjoy

I eat alot of fish and Wegmans always has a fresh supply. I buy salmon steaks bulk and the easiest way to prepare it is to thaw it and then wet it down under the facet and coat it with bread crumbs, cracked pepper blend (a wegmans spice concoction) and dill weed. If you want to make tarter sauce than combine mayo with relish until you have the taste you’d like.

Sardines:
Open a can. Serve on Triscuits

Tuna steak:
Grill to any desired done-ness (the less, the better)
Serve with wasabi and pickled ginger

Frozen fish sticks:
bake as directed
serve with (baked) prepackaged french fries and a vegetable

season salmon filets with “blackened fish seasoning.”
preheat your charcoal fire.
grill.
eat.

flour and fry or bread and fry :D

I love tilapia and salmon straight fried in olive oil or butter,“good” fatty tasting fish rich in essential omegas and whatnot. And a vegetable side.
(Whats your favorite way to cook this kind of fish, fellow jellies?) Some of the more common “fishier” tasting varieties of fish sometimes make me breakout as I’ve noticed with perch.
Also an absolutely tantalizing taste experience was from when I was in the Pensacola, Florida, area eating a fried grouper sandwich at one of the local hole in the wall diners there. It was really good. I’m sure that would be easy to cook up.

@gailcalled that sounds like it could be pretty good, thanks.

My kids’ favorite: pan fried flounder. You can use sole or cod, too.

It’s quick and easy. Dip the fish fillets in beaten egg, then in a mixture of breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese. For a pound of fish, you’d probably want to use 1 cup breadcrumbs and ⅓ to ½ cup parmesan. Season to taste with garlic, basil, and oregano, maybe a little black pepper.

Heat a bit of oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish, and cook until golden brown and crispy. Turn it over, lower the heat to medium, and cook until it flakes easily. It usually only takes a few minutes on each side, because flounder and sole are so thin. So yummy!

I forgot step one.

Buy only fresh, non-farmed fish.

Tonight I sauteed a salmon filet in a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and just a spoonful of maple syrup. It was freakin’ delicious. But it stuck to the plate, so try serving it over rice.

Another recipe, this one for salmon:

Get a 1 pound salmon fillet and place it in a lightly greased baking dish. Stir together ¼ cup maple syrup and 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce and 1 clove of minced garlic. Season the salmon to taste with salt and pepper (I don’t use salt because the soy sauce is salty enough for us), then pour the maple syrup mixture over it. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning once. Heat oven to 400 degrees and bake salmon, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until it flakes with a fork. My kids love this one too!

So far – for simplicity, directions and ingredients – @MissAusten wins. But I thank you all for your time.

Get a piece of fish. Put it on the grill. Dump a extra-large sized scoop of humus over it. Serve.

I call that “Zohan-style” ;)

^ Award for originality and humour. Nota bene: everything goes well with hummus. Just saying.

Ok, I am a catfish FIEND. I could eat it every day. Salmon is great too but I prefer catfish. Dunno why. Anyhow, I just put a little oil in the pan, chop up a clove or two of garlic and once the oil is hot I throw the garlic in and then the catfish. I let it fry til it’s pretty crispy, because no one wants floppy fish. eww. so. once its crispy you eat it. preferably with broccoli. so good. sometimes cajun seasoning is good too. its so simple and mmm!

Open a can of tuna.
Mix with mayonnaise to desired consistency.
Optional: Add chopped onion and celery to suit.
Serve on bread.

I call this a “tuna fish salad” or a “tuna sandwich”.

Alternatively, you could look up “Salade Nicoise”, which seems to be a green salad with chunks of solid white tuna. It’s very good.

It will be Red Fish for me tonight.

I am a fan of @uberbatman way of cooking, with the addition of celery and onion.

Though Red Fish is best blackened. Hmmm, might do that instead.

Put fish in pot. Add a few ounces of water, season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until cooked through. It’s easy, healthy, and it tastes like fish. If you need more “flavours” just squeeze a bit of lemon juice or whatever on top.

On the grill: coat fish with a high-smoke-point oil. Season with s+p. Grill over high heat until cooked through. It’s easy, healthy (though not as much so as poached), and it tastes like fish.

(NB: “like fish” doesn’t mean “fishy,” merely that it tastes like what it is, and not like the mountain of seasonings that people tend to coat it with)

These techniques are starting points for learning to cook fish and will work with any kind. Different varieties work better with different seasonings, but the essentials really aren’t hard.

Oh, if you’re doing fish sticks, you really can’t do any better than taking the stick, and baking or frying it. Nothing else is needed, except maybe something to dip them in.
