My mom gave me this idea for a way to prepare talapia- a mild white fish that is affordable and to my knowledge, not a health hazard. We have it about twice per month.
Spray a pyrex baking dish with cooking spray
Place one or more talapia filets in the dish
Pour a can of (no salt added) diced stewed tomatoes with juices, over fish
Cover with foil and bake at 350 deg. for approx 30 minutes
Serve over your favorite whole grain (Quinoa, brown rice etc).
Variations: I have added oregano, garlic and red onion to the stewed tomatoes, but be careful with the red onion b/c sometimes it takes longer to cook than the fish.
Also- this may be a strange pregnancy thing, but I put hot sauce on mine and sometimes sprinkle on a little Italian cheese for garnish (particularly to get my 2 year old interested). I have heard that cheese on a fish dish is a culinary no-no (but I love cheese, so I'll forget I ever heard that).
Anyone have any good fish recipes to share? I tend to have trouble in this department. The above is one of my only fool-proof recipes. Also seems that choosing the most pollutant free, environmentally friendly fish can be a difficult task.

I tried this recipe last night and YUM! Very similar to poaching. I used White Roughy, which I think is the same as the once popular Orange Roughy, another mild white fish. I also added a little cheese, and it was a definite bonus! Though I realized that the diced tomatoes I have in the cupboard do in fact have added salt. Boo.
I have a couple other fish recipes for you, I'll email them. You might consider adding a "contact me" link to this blog with an email address (maybe not your personal address) for when people want to send longer recipes (then you can post them later if you want).
Yay! So glad you tried and liked it!!!!
Good idea about adding a "contact me" link. I'll try- though I am still having trouble with adding the counter at this point.
