1. Baked Fish - One of the most popular, and simple, recipes for cooking fish involves baking it. In a bowl, mix together melted butter and lemon juice. Dip firm white fish fillets into the melted lemon butter before placing them in a glass baking dish. Sprinkle chopped onion over the the fish, a dash of salt and pour the remaining lemon butter over the top. Dash with paprika for color. Bake uncovered until the fish flakes easily with a fork.


2. Salmon and Tuna Burgers - People who are looking for healthier but tasty alternatives to ground beef patties can try a simple but delicious recipe based on tuna or salmon. These patties can be made with 16 ounces of canned salmon or 12-13 ounces of canned tuna mixed with 2 eggs, bread crumbs or crushed crackers, 2 tablespoons of parsley, and one sliced green onion. Mix these ingredients together and form them into patties while heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet. Cook the patties for 5 minutes on either side, then serve them on hamburger buns. 


3. Tilapia - Garlic tilapia is another popular fish recipe. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a skillet. Meanwhile, prepare one pound of tilapia by lightly seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cut two cloves of garlic into fine slices and set it aside. Put the tilapia in the heated skillet and cook until they start to brown, then add the garlic. Cook for another 2-4 minutes and then flip the tilapia over and cook on the other side until you can flake it with a fork. Serve with a slice of lemon and some parsley for garnish.


4. Teriyaki Salmon - Take a traditionally popular fish and give it an Asian flair. Put 32 ounces of salmon filets in a plastic bag. Mix together one cup of soy sauce, one cup of dry wine, 1 1/2 tablespoons of sliced garlic, one teaspoon of ginger root or powdered ginger, and half a cup of brown sugar. Pour the mix into the bag with the salmon and shake it so the salmon filets are fully marinated. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least four hours. Heat four tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet and place the fillets on the skillet with the skin side down, to cook for 10 minutes.
