Published on by richbLeave a comment

I got back from a fishing trip and have a freezer full of fish, so this is one of the great ways to prepare the Pacific Whitefish that I caught. Cod or any other form of mild fish can be used also.

Ingredients

  • Canola oil (Enough to fry fish in)
  • Fish Fillets. (White fish such as cod) cut into 6 inch strips
  • Corn tortillas 1 or 2 for each taco
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 8-10 oz of  beer
  • Sauce
    • 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
    •  2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
    • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • Option toppings
    • shredded cabbage
    • pico de gallo (chopped onion, tomato, cilantro with lime juice and salt)

Directions

Prepare sauce by chopping chipotle finely and mixing with mayonnaise and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Prepare pico de gallo if desired by chopping and combining pico de gallo ingredients. Combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, egg, beer in a bowl and mix till smooth. Spay each tortilla with a little cooking oil and lightly fry in a hot pan for about 1-2 mins per side and set aside. Add oil to pan and heat to about 350 degrees. Dip fish strips into batter and fry for about 5 mins or till done turning over once. Put a layer of the chipotle sauce on the tortilla, then the fish and finally toppings. Fold over, serve and enjoy.

Salmon is a healthy food to eat as a snack on crackers instead of potato chips or other less healthy foods, but smoked salmon is expensive. Why not take some time and make a batch of smoked salmon yourself with this recipe. It can be stored at room temp before opening for 1 year or more and then kept for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator after opening . Here is the easy to follow recipe:

Ingredients

  • Three Large salmon Filets
  • Dry Rub
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup kosher salt
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Add to jar when canning
    • 2 drops liquid smoke per jar.
    • 1 tsp olive oil

Directions
Mix Dry rub ingredients in a bowl and sprinkle on salmon and leave set for 1 – 2 hours in fridge. Rinse off salmon and cut into pieces to roll up (Skin side in) or cut into about 2 inch strips and add to jar so that they will fill the jar. Mix olive oil and liquid smoke. Pour over salmon and process in pressure cooker at 10lbs for 100 min. Remove from pressure cooker and cool. If any of the lids did not seal (if they are not sucked in and you and push them down and they pop in) put them in the refrigerator and use them within 2 weeks. If they have sealed then they can be stored on the shelf unrefrigerated.

I love this healthy recipe, It has a spicy crust with the rich salmon flavor inside. It is simple and great for a quick, healthy, easy to make main course.

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets skin removed.
  • Course ground black pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt

Directions

Bring your salmon fillets to room temp.  Coat your Salmon till it is covered with the course ground black pepper and sprinkle some salt on both sides. Preheat your pan till it is really hot, and then add the olive oil to almost coat the bottom of the pan. Now add the salmon to the pan and cook for about 7 minutes on each side till you can poke it and it feels firm. It should have a browned crust on it. Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest for about 5 minutes, then serve and enjoy.
