Welcome to the Fish eaters club! I love fish, with the possible exception of catfish. Here are two of my favorite easy fish recipes:
Cajun fish with red beans and rice:
Use any thin fillet of fish (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch), but I generally use rockfish or snapper. Rub the fish down with olive oil and sprinkle with cajun seasoning. Let marinate for about a half hour, keep in fridge while marinating.
Grill the fish on an indoor grill pan. You can bar-b-que, but it might slip through the grill. Since it cooks really fast, you probably only need about 2-3 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, saute 1/2 chopped onion and a med chopped bell pepper in about a TBSP of olive oil. To that, add a box of Zataran's red beans and rice, Rice a Roni red beans and rice and foloow the directions on the box to finish
Serve the grilled fish on top of the red beans and rice, topped with a little chopped tomatoes.
Grilled swordfish tacos: Season swordfish steaks with a mix of olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt and chile powder, to taste.
Small corn or fajita size flour tortillas
Shred small green cabbage (or use bagged "angel hair" cabbage slaw mix).
Chop med tomato, cilantro and a small avocado for toppers.
In a pot, saute a med thinly sliced onion until soft. Add 1 15oz can of roasted diced tomatoes (Hunts), 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 2 cloves minced garlic and simmer about 15 minutes. Then add 1/3 cup of dry white wine and a cup of sour cream. Cool and blend in a blender to liquify. Use as a sauce on the fish tacos.
Put a little sauce on a warm tortilla, add some sliced grilled swordfish, top with tomatoes, avocado, cilantro and cabbage. Add a little more sauce on top if you like. Pass the lime wedges.
BAKED FISH STUFFED
This recipe is so simple that you can use a variety of fish.
Example:
Scallops
Cod
Scrod
Flounder
Salmon
Catfish
Sole (wonderful stuffed)
STUFFING:
Crush some Ritz crackers (1 cup).
Add:
A few chopped walnuts (3 tbsp.)
1 tbsp. parsley
4 tbsp. butter, melted
Stuffing for sole: Mix all together. A drop or two of cooking sherry adds a nice touch.
Lay the sole out flat. Place stuffing in center. Fold fish over stuffing and put sealed side down. Proceed with drizzling butter and lemon over top. No need to add more crackers on the top. Bake as above.
Spray a glass pan or individual casserole with butter flavored Pam.
Place the fish in the dish.
Melt enough butter with a tablespoon or so of lemon juice to drizzle over the amount of fish you have to cook.
Sprinkle with crushed Ritz crackers. Spray with butter flavor Pam. Dust with a little paprika for color.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 25 to 30 minutes depending on the thickness of your fish.

Spicy fish and Hushpuppies
-----FOR THE FISH-----
1 1/2 c Corn flour, stone ground
1 t Salt
1/2 ts Freshly ground pepper
1/4 ts Cayenne or to taste
3 lb Small cleaned fish or filet
-preferrably freshwater -catfish or sunfish -----FOR HUSH PUPPIES-----
1 lg Egg
2 c Buttermilk
1 3/4 c Stone ground whole grain
-cornmeal
1/2 c Minced onion
1 t Baking powder, scant
1 t Salt -- scant
1 t Baking sda -- scant
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. In a stockpot or Dutch oven, pour oil to a depth of at least 1 1/2 inches. and heat the oil at medium-high until the temperature reaches 375 degrees. Place wire racks on 2 baking sheets and set aside. In a wide bowl, mix the corn flour, salt, pepper and cayenne. In a medium-size bowl, prepare the hush puppies batter: Mix the egg and buttermilk well, then stir in the cornmeal until well blended, Add the onion, and stir in. Place the baking powder, salt and baking soda in a small separate container and set aside while you fry the fish. Dip each fish or fillet into the seasoned flour, coating well buyt shaking off excess. Carefully lower each piece into the oil. Fillt he pot, but do not crowd it. The oil should bubble up around each piece. Make sure temperature stays between 365 and 375 degrees. Fry the fish until it is golden all over, about 2 or 3 minutes on each side. Set aside the remaining corn flour. Remove the fish pieces from the oil in the same order they were immersed, using a wire mesh strainer allowing excess to drain. When fish stops dripping; place it on one of the prepared baking sheets; then place in oven. Continue until all fish is fried. For the hush puppies: add the reserved baking powder, salt and baking soda to the hush puppy batter, and mix well; then, add the leftover seasoned corn flour to the batter a little at a time, until the batter is thick enough to be spooned. You will have added about
1/4 to 1/2 cup of of the corn flour. Make sure the oil
has returned to 375 degrees F; then, drop the batter by spoonfuls into the oil, using 2 teaspoons -- 1 to scoop the batter and one to scrape it off and into the oil. Fry the hush puppies until golden all over, about 3 minutes. Drain each pup well over the pot, and place on the second prepared sheet pan. Repeat process until all batter is fried.
