I live in Florida and have decent access to fresh fish. Problem is I have no clue how to cook it properly. I don't have a grill bc I live in an apartment. Suggestions?

I just bake it in the oven. Or, I make a tinfoil "tent" around it and bake it in there to keep it moist.

One of my favorites is taking orange roughy or tilapia filets. Put a couple quick sprays of "I can't believe it's not butter" on it, a little salt and pepper, then a couple slices of onion and Tomato on it. Make a tinfoil tent around it and bake it at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Open the tinfoil and throw away the tomato and onion slices- they were just to flavor it.

Enjoy!

It makes a really flavorful and moist fish dinner!

I eat fish about 4 times a week and I bake it and it is amazing! I spray the pan with pam put the fish on the pan spray it with i can't believe its not butter on it with your favorite seasonings. I like garlic powder, chili powder and some everglades :) Cook until it is flaky!

Fish fillets with cumin, chili powder, salt and lemon juice rubbed on real good. Grill with non stick spray and top with finely shredded cabbage diced tomatoes and avocado. I add a dollop of Greek yogurt and tobasco. You could put this in grilled corn tortillas to make tacos or not. It is my Mexican take on fish tacos. LOVE IT!

I eat fish almost every night. I bake mine, too. I loved breaded tilapia, but am staying away from breaded. So, I have found that ground flax seed makes a great breading, and then add a little Zaterans to the fish. Yummy! di the same to flounder lastnight, was great too!

I'm new to cooking fish myself, but I've been buying the frozen fish haddock fillets from costco. They have both breaded and unbreaded, but the breaded have twice the calories :( Taste good, though! I use our small toaster oven to cook my fillets. I make my own tartar sauce using low fat or low calorie ingredients. Funny thing: before the lapband I was challenged to cook a hotdog on the grill. I eat fish at least 8 times a week. It is nothing but healthy compared to red meats. Fish is very healthy and is a great Protein. One four ounce fillet is about 100 calories. Not knowing what I am doing, I use a meat thermometer to ensure the fish is at least 160 degrees before eating it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
