Ideas for fish that's not deepfried?

[salger2k]

I'm looking for some fish recipes that don't include the hassle of deepfrying. If you do some tasty things on the grill in the oven or even stovetop that don't include deepfrying your fish let me know. Thanks in advance for your ideas!!

p.s. If it makes a difference, I'm usually eating Crappie/Sunfish, Walleye/Sauger, Perch...

Tupperware, I don;t know if that word is allowed or not,has a steamer for microwaving fish, works great,its a oblong dish with a insert with holes in it, put water in the bottom, then the insert, then fish, put a dab of butter and lemon juice salt and lite pepper on and microwave, quick and easy.

Got one...

Coat fillets lightly with mayo... put on a cookie sheet or other oven safe pan. Lightly salt and pepper fillets then sprinkle with parmesean cheese(real stuff, grated, not the can stuff!)

Then broil for about 8-9 mins untill fish are golden brown on top... EAT!!!

We like this method for a change of taste. Use foil, spray with any of the butter products, a little/or a lot of garlic powder, lemon juice added , wrap tight and put on the charcoal grill. Will be done after just a few minutes each side depending on the size of the fillet. Smaller fillets most of the time you don't need to turn.

Salger2k; Go to Perch Florentine page here in recipes and try that one and also click on my name and in my profile I have a web page with some recipes on it . Sign my guest book. All are catfish name recipes but any fish will work.

I'll second the perch florentine recipe, made it last night with crappie, I was a little leery when making it, but it was awsome!

Another one... Go to the grocery store and buy Chef Paul Prudhommes Blackened Redfish magic (in the seasoning isle) follow the directions which are... coat fillet with melted butter, season liberally with redfish magic, put in VERY HOT cast iron skillet and cook each side till golden brown, usually only takes 1-2 minutes a side when I do it. It is awesome! On a side note for those who fish Red in the spring and catch those ugly sheepshead (drum), they are a 1st cousin to Redfish from the salt water and they taste identical! People have no problem going to a store or restaurant and pay $20 a pound for basically the same fish... I blackened a half dozen during a crappie cook-out last year, and they were all gone b-4 the crappie... Try it you won't be dissappointed!

Good Luck!

I will second what Husker said except dont wrap the foil up tight or you wont get any of the grill flavor into the fish. Make a little "boat" instead, and use real lemon slices also. No need to turn the fish. You might as well use the oven if you wrap the fish up tight.

Labs4me; I'll give you a thumbs up on that cast Iron skillet. That is all I ever use. And really like them. Later

Onion's Potatoes & Fish

1 glass caserol dish

peel & slice onion about 1/4" leave the slices whole

peel & slice potatoes the same

layer the dish with onion slices

salt & pepper

Layer the onion slices with potato slices

salt and pepper

Layer the potato slices with fish fillets

salt and pepper and pour a little melted butter over them.

Repeat the layering till you have 3 complete sets of layers.

Top with a half cup of bread crumbs that have been mixed with about 1/8 cup melted butter and your favorite herbs.

I've also put parmesan cheese on top of the bread crumbs.

Bake in 350° preheated oven for about 45 min or until potatoes are tender.

This one works especially well when you are slightly shy on the fillets.

we use a 9 x 13 glass pan. layer the fish on the bottom. Add a couple chunks butter (to taste), add some onion, some cherry tomatoes (cut in 1/2), 1/2 pound half cooked bacon or so, salt, pepper, or any other seasonings you like. Oh mushrooms are good too. Also some lemon juice is good. place on grill or in oven around the 325 to 350 mark. As it cooks the moisture will leave the fish and other items and fill the bottom of the pan, when this moisture is almost gone, pull the pan out and enjoy!! Another one we like is use the same pan, place a layer of cooked stove top dressing or home made dressing on the bottom, then a thick layer of fish and then another layer of dressing. Cook until the fish flacks and it's eating time!! I like the herb dressing the best. Good luck!! Mike

On the same line as the tin foil boat.....a pie tin works for small orders and we have also used the aluminum foil turkey roasters for larger occasions.

A light coating of olive oil on the bottom.

salt and pepper or your own preference on spices/seasonings.

Grill until flakey...usualy 15 minutes on medium heat covers it but it always pays to watch.

Good luck

de-bone some northern fillets put them on a cookie cooling rack or cookie sheet. put melted butter on them and a little paprika. put under broiler for about 5 mins. take out and put melted butter with garlic salt over them. simple and great tasteing

[fishnhooks]

I use the same recipe as Deitz's alot, and I think it is great! I do add one more little thing to mine. I sprinkle lemon pepper on top of the fish and on top of the mayo ( I like alot of it) before I add the parm cheese. This recipe is extremely quick,easy and I think it tastes great.

"hooks"

Here's one... made it again last night with some crappie... it's delicious, my wife had some pina-colada dipping sauce she had left over and froze from before... I will try to hunt that recipe down, otherwise they are good alone or with orange marmalde to dip them in.

Coconut for crappies...

1 tsp. chili powder

1/4 tsp. black pepper

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. dry mustard

1 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1 cup coconut

1 cup seasoned flour (flour,2 tsp.lowrys salt

1/8 tsp. pepper)

Egg wash (2 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 2-3 tblsp

honey)

Mix chili powder, pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard, and seasoned flour in pie plate.

Mix bread crumbs and coconut in another pie plate.

Mix egg wash in bowl

Dredge fillets in flour, (let stand a couple minutes so flour gets tacky) dip in egg mix, let excess drip off, roll fillets in coconut mixture till coated and press firmly onto fillet. Fry in pan w/ veg. oil and small amount of butter heated to 375. Fry till Golden...remove to paper towel, add small amount of salt and cinnamon to fillets immediatley after taking out of pan. serve w/ orange marmalade or eat like they are....yum

If you like coconut shrimp then you'll love this!

Good luck!
