Seeking Fish Recipes and Preperation Info

We eat alot of Frozen Talapia. I take it from the freezer and usually put some melted butter on it. (I know butter isn't too healthy), but then I put other spices on it. We have a couple different spices from Mrs. Dash (they have no salt). I have played around and tried different ones. We have a garlic blend, original blend, and another I think lemon pepper. Another thing I've found that we like on it is an italian dressing. I put it in a baking dish (seemed to dry out too much on cookie sheet), then bake it at 425 for 30-40 min. depending on thickness. Unfortunatly there isn't an exact time span for cooking. I've had to slowly learn what looks done and what doesn't.

Finger Fish:

cut tilapia or catfish (fresh or forzen) in lenghtwise (like strips) dip into flour(put some salt and black pepper in it), then in beaten eggs and again in flour. Fry them. OR
Dip in beaten eggs, bread crumb and fry them.

First, you should not refreeze anything previously frozen. Besides any danger of salmonella, you also lose nutritional benefits.
Buy enough fish for that use, my husband and I together will eat 10 ounces at one meal. The best days to buy fish in Chicago are weekdays by the way.
You can simply salt and pepper a fish like trout or whitefish, or even salmon, get a pan VERY hot, put some oil on it (first sorry), the put the fish on, skin side down. About 2 minutes a side for thinner fish, halibut is more like 5-7 minutes a side. I just put butter on it at the end.
Avoid tuna, shark, swordfish (so gross if you ever see a whole one) and other big fish--the bigger the fish, the more the havy metals and waste.

To go with grilled, broiled or baked salmon, my husband mixes dill, cream cheese and sauteed mushrooms in a little frying pan until warm. It is an excellent combination. He also "batters" tilapia with italian or japanese bread crumbs and egg to coat it and "fries" it in some olive oil in a pan on the stove.

My family is not big on eating fish, but I have come up with this simple way that they love. Frozen or fresh tilapia. I prefer the frozen so I don't have to get it right before a meal, and I think it stays more moist. Spray the glass/ceramic dish with cooking oil (PAM), lay out fish fillets, sprinkle with a healthy dose of Parmesan cheese. Bake 350 for about 30-45 mins depending on how many, the thickness, etc. Sometimes I add different spices (oregano,etc) but they like it "plain" the most. Keeps well in the fridge to be a left over later. :)
