I normally serve a grilled salmon fillet and a ham. But this year, my sister is having everyone down for a Christmas party on the 22nd, and she's serving . . . poached salmon and ham!
So, HELP. I need suggestions for alternative fish and meat main dishes. I am stumped on the fish, because salmon is such a nice size fillet and everyone loves it.
But the same people are going to her party as will be coming to my house on Christmas day. I would like something that doesn't require a lot of work.

I forgot to mention it - my husband, kids and I don't eat meat, only fish and seafood. So the ham is normally devoured by the rest of the family! So, we definitely want a fish dish.

Oh and the rest of the family won't eat lamb!

For meat consider a crown roast of pork instead of ham-order now from a local meat market or see if local grocery stores will have it. As for the salmon-consider a platter of shrimp and crab claws. Or if your family really likes the salmon, make it a second time-it's a favorite for your family anyway and having it twice in a week would be great too.

You know if you can do some kind of roast . . . I can't . . . I can't make mine come out right . . . But anyway, Roasts of some sort (Bone in or Bone out) . . . Always go over very well for Christmas . . . I can't believe that you would not want to serve Salmon, even if someone else is doing one . . . Good luck. I hope you well.

Orange roughy, red snapper and mahi mahi are all good options that would be quite a bit different from salmon. Swordfish or catfish might also work depending on how you want to cook it. My first choice, however, would be fresh walleye (a freshwater species commercially fished in Canada and recreationally in the northern US) but availability depends on where you live. Our traditional family dinner at Christmas is Swedish meatballs and they are always a big hit. It's the ONLY time of the year that we ever have them.

Maybe serve a variety of shrimp or scallops. I have a great recipe for teriyake (i'm sure i didn't spell that right) chicken that is amazing and super easy. Let me know if you're interested. The sauce is made from scratch and doesn't taste like the crap you buy at the store.

My husband is so very picky and wont eat ham which I love. This year I was flipping through a magazine and saw a great recipe for a rib roast. It is going to be amazing!

Easy peasy - boiled lobsters all round!!!
There's no work involved except the cooking bit.
