Fish Gotta Swim, but I Gotta Cook

What’s your favorite thing to cook?

I would be hard pressed to choose one specific dish that is my favorite to cook. But a food, an ingredient that I love to cook? That’s easy: fish.

I’ve posted plenty of fish recipes since I started this blog, and with good reason. There are so many delicious ways to prepare fish.

I probably prepare salmon more than any other fish. It’s readily available, and I have simple recipes like the herb sauce pictured above, or my salmon version of Wellington, where the fish is topped with sautéed mushrooms and wrapped in phyllo before baking.

I’ve even cooked salmon in my tagine.

I like to cook white fish, too. If yellowtail snapper is available, it’s hard for me to resist, but we cook a lot of cod, flounder, and halibut. These fish are so versatile!

Even though I cooked salmon just last week, I think it’s time for fish again!

    Fish! 🐟 🍣 Actually, I haven’t eaten fish at all, but your salmon in the last picture and your fish picatta with spaghetti pasta (my favorite pasta!) inspired me to try them out. You’ve inspired me! Your choice in favorite ingredient is solid!

    Do you recommend it to me? Should I try them out? 😌

      I always recommend fish. It’s generally a very healthy food. The fish piccata is one of my favorites. It’s easy to make, and, because you have the pasta, too, you don’t need a lot of fish. The biggest challenge is finding a place to buy really fresh fish. I try not to use frozen fish if at all possible, because it just doesn’t taste as good.

        Thank you for your recommendation 😊

        I agree with you about the really fresh fish. It’s a challenging task to find a fresh fish and from the sea, and, in my city, the stores give us either frozen fish or a fish from the river that might have been polluted.
