Trout Amandine

2 pounds rainbow trout fillets
1 lemon cut into 8 wedges
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Preheat the oven's broiler.
Lightly coat the rack of a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Rinse the fish and pat it dry. Rub the trout fillets with lemon juice from 2 of the lemon wedges. Place the fish on the broiler pan and broil for 3 to 5 minutes until the it is almost done, turning once during cooking time. Broil about 4 to 5 inches from the heating element.
Sprinkle fish with almonds and broil for 1 or 2 minutes more, until the fish flakes with a fork. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve with remaining lemon wedges.

Cajun Fish

This recipe was originally for salmon, but I have used it for whatever fish we have... sole, haddock. I have also used it on chicken! Very tasty!

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
3 cloves garlic, pressed
3/4 cup vermouth (or use balsamic vinegar and apple juice mixed, half and half)
6 4-ounce fish fillets
Lemon wedges

In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt half the butter. Add the fish and brown on each side about, 2 minutes per side. Remove fish and keep warm. Add remaining butter to the pan and add Cajun seasoning and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then add the vermouth and cook for 3 minutes or so, again stirring constantly. Add fish back to the pan and cook until fish flakes when tested with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges.

Baked Tilapia

6 tilapia fillets Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup butter, melted
Juice of one lemon
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons fresh parsley

Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Salt and pepper fish and place in a greased 8 X 8 baking dish.

In a small bowl, mix together butter, lemon juice, onion, Worcestershire sauce and parsley.

Pour this mixture over fish and bake for 30 minutes.

Sesame Salmon

1/4 cup sesame oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1-2 limes, juiced (2-3 tablespoons)
1-2 cloves garlic, pressed
3 green onions, chopped
6 salmon fillets

Preheat oven to broil.
In a plastic zip lock bag, mix together the sesame oil and soy sauce.
Squeeze the limes till you get 2-3 tablespoons of lime juice. Add the
lime juice, garlic and onions to the plastic bag.

Place the fish in the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30
minutes or up to 3 hours. If you choose to do this the night before,
remove fish from the marinade into a fresh bag and refrigerate overnight.
Discard marinade.

Place salmon fillets skin side down on broiler pan.
Set broiler pan about 4 or 5 inches from heating element and cook salmon
till done, about 10 minutes per inch, so figure your time accordingly and
watch it... your broiler could operate hotter and faster. Salmon
is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is light pink in color.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

I have some very picky day care kids. If it isn't a grilled cheese sandwich or a hot dog, they do not want to eat it. Today I tried the following recipe for tuna noodle casserole, told everyone that it was a special macaroni and cheese treat and left the room. They devoured it! They asked for seconds! The pickiest eater said he couldn't get enough of it! Victory!

1 can cream of celery soup
1/2 cup miracle whip
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Mix the above ingredients together. Add...

1 tbsp minced onion (I used dried onion)
1 can tuna drained
1 cup frozen peas (I used canned)
8oz wide egg noodles cooked (I used macaroni noodles)

Pour it into baking dish and bake at 350F for 25 minutes.
I added grated cheese and buttered fine bread crumbs to the top.
