Hi, girlgun. I've really missed you around here. floatingsluggishly is a poor substitute.
I like to make fish once in a while. Talapia, perch, and salmon steaks or filets.
Talapia's my favorite. I make it one of two simple ways, both a kind of pan frying. If I'm feeling particularly industrious, I will lightly bread the talapia in just a little flour (mixed with a little salt and pepper). To do this, I first dip the talapia in some half-and-half to help make the flour stick. Again, though, just very lightly. Just a dusting of flour. I then just fry the talapia in a little butter in a frying pan. Total time is maybe 30 minutes.
Another way is to skip the breading and just pan fry with butter.
I think salmon steaks taste better, but you have to worry about the tiny bones. The salmon filets are safer. I cook the salmon in the oven at about 350 covered in just a little butter and liberally doused with parsley.
If I have access to a grill, salmon steaks are great cooked over charcoal.
Fish is healthy for you, and it's simple to make.
