Any good fish recipe? I don't really like fish, but my in laws are coming and I want to make good impression

Answer 1

Make pesto with coriander, olive oil, pine nuts, lemon juice and basil all whizzed up together to make a chunky paste. Spread that on top of the fish and bake in aluminium foil parcels. You can tell it is ready by opening the parcel and see if the fish falls apart.

This recipe is good for when people come over because you can make the paste in advance and a salad in the fridge and when they come over just stick the fish in their parcels, spread the paste, put them in the oven and then spend your time talking and pouring wine rather that slaving over a stove top.

They will think you are brilliant!

Answer 2

marinade the fish in some marinade -find one ready to use at the grocery store-or make one with some olive oil, spices such as parsley, some vnegarette dressing, some lemon and orange juice and let the fish sit overnight in the solution, make sure that the fish is fillet and has not the skin on it! the best fish to use is salmon since it is easy to work with! you can let the fish sit in the marinade either homade or bought as long as you want to but the longer it sits in it the more flavor the fish picks up! then grill it and make some grilled asparagus, onions, as well as some mashed potatoes and squeeze some lime or lemon on the fish before serving it! top it off with a garnish or parsley and some lemon slices!

Answer 3

Get some nice big pieces of fish fillets. In each one make three slits, rub with a little salt, seasoning of your choice a teeny sprinkle of red pepper powder ( this brings out the flavour- very little though!) OR you can spinkle it with a little tabasco instead. rub all over so it gets into the fish. Slice some lemons. leave all over fish in a dish for 30 minutes in fridge.

Mix a little olive oil, finely chopped parsley ( another choice is melted butter with crushed garlic). leave aside.

Grill fish and keep basting with ther olive oil mixture- just takes a few minutes- turn over too and baste again. After a few minutes turn back over, insert lemon slices in slits, bast a little more before cooking time os over.

Serve hot with Asparagus or other veggies of your choice. Delicious!!

Serve with a romaine salad with lots of tomatoes and cucumbers.

Answer 6

Halibut is a nice, mild fish for people who don't like fish. Fish is actually really easy to bake and it doesn't take very long.

(By the way, you might check to see if your in-laws like fish, because many people don't.)

Answer 9

All above are great suggestions.... but the only way to impress your in laws is to be yourself. If you want to prove yourself to them through cooking, go with something you and your partner both like. If they see that you cook to please him, you will in turn be pleasing them.
