Fish Recipes

Thought I would share a few of my favorite recipes.

Baked... Fish Jalapeno Poppers

Fish filets (your choice of specie) cut into; two inch long x two inch wide x one inch thick strips.
1/2 package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded motzarella cheese
2 Tbsp. bacon bits
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. chili powder
1 lb. jalapenos, halved lengthwise and seeded
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs

Combine cheeses, bacon bits, and seasonings.
Spoon cheese mixture "heaping" into pepper halves which have seeds removed.
Roll pepper halves and fish in breadcrumbs.
Place on greased cookie sheet and bake uncovered at 300 degrees for 20 - 25 min.
Watch the oven. When the cheese mixture in the peppers melts and overflows onto the fish... this is a good thing!
Allow to slightly cool before serving.
Serve with sour cream dollop on top with chopped green onions.

Re: Fish Recipes

I enjoy fish many ways- walleye is good fried, baked, breaded and fried, etc. Salmon is good fried in olive oil basil and fresh garlic (not powder). Steelhead is great other ways, but good baked.

But my latest fun way to cook fish is:

Powder/dredge fileted fish in Bisquick (dry)

Make a batter with Bisquick- not runny as "normal", but sortof thick. Start with a cup of Bisquick, a big egg, and add beer and mix with fork until not clumpy, but not runny either. Dip 'floured' fish in batter completely covering, and gently place in a deep cast iron frying pan with an inch and a half of 375 degree corn oil. Cook until the top side starts to look a little like it is starting to cook, and the bottom has turned golden to brown- then turn. Cook a few more minutes until second side is browned.

Remove, drain oil from fish and place on paper towel or rack to drip free of remaining oil and start cooking your next pieces.

Makes a really nice, bready, tasty main course.

Re: Fish Recipes

Salmon or Steelhead filets BBQ
Ready the briquettes and then move them to both sides of the BBQ leaving a channel in the center.

Make a square pan out of tin foil
Poor a light coating of olive oil on the bottom
Sprinkle the fillet with the following: sea salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, garlic and dill weed, dont spare the pepper. Flip over and do the same seasonings on this side. Now poor some oil on this side.

Set over channel on the Q and add some mesquite or hickory chips to the coals. Cover for about 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the filet. No need to flip the filet, it will cook through on one side. Just dont put it over direct heat.

Sause: mix one cube of butter, tea of garlic salt, tea of dill and some pre carmelized fine chopped onions. Poor over portions as served.

This sause works good on any fish that I have eaten also.

Re: Fish Recipes

Damn you guys are making me hungry. I like anything with the jalapeno or habanero to kick it up a notch.

Tried this stuff on shrimp once in Texas and ended up buying a case of it. It's Louisiana Fish Fry Bbq shrimp sauce mix. Ended up eating a couple of pounds of shrimp by myself

http://www.louisianafishfry.com/reviews.php?action=submit&id=23

3 oz bag

In a saucepan, melt 4 sticks butter or margarine. Add 1 cup water and BBQ Shrimp Sauce Mix. Simmer 5 minutes.
Divide 5 lbs unpeeled shrimp among 2/3 baking dishes with shrimp not more than 2 layers deep.
Pour sauce, proportionally, over shrimp. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes, turning shrimp several times.
Serve with French bread for dipping
For added flavor layer lemon and/or onion slices over shrimp before baking.
Enjoy!
