Fish Recipes

This fresh dish is sure to please at your next dinner party! The red pepper flakes add a little kick, and toasted almonds add a delicious crunch. I like to serve this with orzo pasta or rice pilaf. This dish can also be made with fat-free half and half and low-sodium chicken broth for healthier options.

Halibut cheeks are really delicious and super-easy to cook. Here they are pan-seared and served with a zingy orange sauce with Asian seasonings. Great with asparagus and jasmine rice for a light and tasty Spring dinner.

An Italian-style vegetable and feta cheese topping is the perfect enhancement to delicious baked halibut.

The simplicity and flavour of this summer dish are fantastic. Buy your tuna steaks about 1cm/½ inch thick rather than going for massive inch-thick ones.
That way they cook quickly, giving you a juicy, silky steak that hasnt had a chance to dry out. If you cant get hold of tuna, then shark and swordfish are reasonably good steak-like alternatives.

Tuna is a wonderfully rich, slightly fatty fish. Using grapefruit to sear it gives a really nice contrast of flavours.
It's quick to prepare and it will definitely be a talking point when you have guests round for dinner.
The noodles are a great part of this dish, but can be an optional extra.

Cooked and smoked salmon are layered with cheese and croissants and topped with an egg, sour cream, caper and dill mixture before baking to a bubbly brown to serve.

Simply seasoned with salt and pepper, these salmon fillets are pan seared with capers, and garnished with slices of lemon.

In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, cucumber, avocado, green onion, red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Pour in the lemon juice, sesame oil and soy sauce, and stir carefully to blend so as not to mash the avocado. Place this bowl into a larger bowl that has been filled with ice. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, but no longer - the terrific freshness of the fish will be lost.

Once chilled, remove the bowl from the ice, and invert onto a serving plate. Serve with toasted bread or your favorite crackers.

This is a really beautiful summer dish that takes hardly any time at all to prepare and of course you can use different kinds of beans, such as black-eyed beans, flageolets, butter beans or even lentils. It's a terrific hot snack or main dish and with the tuna all torn up it makes a great salad.
I like to griddle the tuna for a minute on each side so it has colour on the outside but still remains a little pink in the middle.
A lot of people still want to cook tuna all the way through (which I think is madness!), but you must do it how you like best. It's worth seeing if you prefer it pink in the middle though.

When cooking fish, you dont have to stick to soft herbs like tarragon or dill gutsy, woody herbs like oregano, thyme or rosemary are great with fish like red mullet.

In the UK, red mullet are hard to get hold off at the moment. Make sure your fish is from a sustainable source, and if you cant find sustainable red mullet, go for small red snapper instead.
