DS got two pro invites and is working out religiously. He swears he needs to eat fish for protein. I am allergic to seafoods. I need fast and easy fish recipes. Nothing fancy. Something I can cook up during the day and leave for him to warm up in the microwave in the evening when I am in class. Anyone?? No gourmet stuff, please.

Leave him a slab of salmon and point him to the grill...salmon over mesquite is good eats.

My other suggestion would have included corn meal and a deep fryer, but that probably defeats the primary purpose he is wanting the fish for in the first place...

Can't always get salmon unless I go 30 miles to the fish market. Well you can get it canned but it will fall thru the cracks in the grill.

He just wants something he can warm up in a minute or so. If I grill the salmon, will it still be tasty from the microwave? And you are correct, no breaded stuff.

WHAT kind of fish are we speaking of?
I have lots of easy ways to cook fish as we eat it about 3 or 4 times a week.

I don't know what kind of fish other than easy to cook and warm up fish...suggestions? Remember I am not in a big metropolis and not near the ocean...and one does not eat the fish from our dear dirty river...

Sushi. Hand him some raw fish, and tell him here's dinner!

He would think I had handed him bait...

I absolutely love salmon croquettes with white rice and it doesn't taste bad when heated in the microwave. Caution, because not everyone can make good croquettes. I'd make some for you if I were closer.

ROFL...didn't think about that. I see big slabs of salmon everytime I go to the store. That and big jumbo shrimp (8-9 count per pound)- another grilling favorite.

He just wants something he can warm up in a minute or so. If I grill the salmon, will it still be tasty from the microwave? And you are correct, no breaded stuff.

Not sure how well it would survive the microwave...rare is the instance that I had any to keep. I do know that the small scraps I would keep on those occasions had a much more pronounced smoke flavor when reheated.

Fish is one of those things that I tend not to try and cook in advance...sorry 'bout that.

When he reheats it, tell him to heat it on 50-60% power. Fish doesn't reheat well.

I read through those recipes....each one ends with "Drop in deep fat fryer until done." Not quite what I'm looking for...

[hannah]

Thanks for your replies guys and gals...any more? He may just get a can of tuna tonight...

YES and I would love to come for dinner. I think thoug becaue Hannah is allergic she cannot handle fish, and how the heck can you make a good croquette orHa fish cake without mixing it with your hands to get the perfect shape?
Hannah I do not eat fresh water fish, so I cannot help much.
IF you have a Trader Joes in your area, be it even an hours ride it would be well worth going with a cooler to stock up on their flas frozen fish. The HALIBUT is award winning, not expensive,and this is coming from someone who has never bought fish at the store before.

For a few fast fish meals, you can put a fillet in tin foil, sprinkle with lemon juice and wine , and let it cook over the grill wrapped. Serve with rice or pasta.
You could also have it all prepared to be zapped in the Microwave (I don't have one so do not know how to time it) So fish in dish, cover with wine and a squeeze of a lemon, and serve. Or you can add a few breadcrumbs on top and add sliced black olives or even some stewed tomatoes.
Mmmmmm
