New Fish Recipes

In many ways, white meat is a great resource for cooking. It will take any flavor that you give it, and no matter what you do with it, it will probably taste good. Unfortunately, this all has a downside. The cheapness and availability of chicken, pork, and other meats has made us lazy. It is too easy to make something that is reasonably appetizing. As a result, we eat too much meat. Our diets sufferer, our taste buds suffer, and ultimately our health suffers. Learning a few new fish recipes can be the perfect way to cure the meat and potatoes blues.

Many people stay away from cooking fish because they assume that it is too hard. Although fish recipes do take a little bit more effort than chicken recipes, They are easier than you would imagine. Perhaps the most classic fish recipe, baked salmon, is actually one of the easiest dishes imaginable. All you have to do is pull off the skin, coat the fish in oil, and bake it. There is some timing involved, and you can make things better by using spices, but even if you bake salmon in the most basic way imaginable, it will still taste good. Salmon is such a rich and flavorful fish, you see, that you need to do very little to prepare it.
Of course, if you are a little bit more adventurous, you can try fish stew recipes. Cooking fish stew is a little bit difficult for some people the first time they try it. You see, most people are used to making stew with beef. When you cook beef stew, you can cook it and cook it without ruining the flavor. With fish recipes, however, timing is always important. Too little cooking and things are not safe to eat. Too much cooking and you get tough, robbery, and unappetizing food. The key to fish recipes is learning just the right timing.
Although cooking fish and chips does not have the same nutritional benefits as many other fish recipes, it can still be a great way to introduce yourself to seafood. Besides that, it is a great way to introduce your kids to seafood! The bottom line is, if you make your own fish and chips, it doesn't have to be that unhealthy. Instead of frying it in vegetable oil, you can lightly sautéed it in olive oil. If you use a light coating instead of the thick coat of greasy batter than is usually employed, it is reasonably healthy for you, and absolutely delicious.
