This post may contain affiliate links. Please see our disclosure policy for details.

Fish is a lean, healthy, delicious, and versatile protein, but we always hear people say they don’t know how to cook it! Cod, flounder, tilapia, trout, salmon, haddock – there are so many to choose from, and we have recipes to get you started, from simple (one-pot and sheet-pan) to fancy – even ones using your Instant Pot.

Whole Roast Fish

You might be surprised to see how easy it is to make our Whole Roast Fish – and the presentation is spectacular! All you need is fresh fish, a sturdy sheet pan, some olive oil, salt and pepper and herbs – and a hot oven. Get the recipe for Whole Roast Fish.

Fish Chowder

We were so pleasantly surprised when we learned that a chowder didn’t have to be an all-day affair. This begins with slab bacon and leeks. Carrots, parsnips, and potatoes join white fish, such as cod or haddock. The stock is bottled clam juice! A trade secret that offers plenty of deep-sea flavor in an instant. Get the recipe for Fish Chowder.

Air-Fryer Low FODMAP Gluten-Free Fish Sticks

These gluten-free fish sticks are our absolute hands down favorite recipe to make in an air fryer. Firm white fish is coded in egg and potato starch before being rolled in crushed potato chips. That’s right, I said potato chips! Serve with tartar sauce on the side and you will never buy another frozen fish stick again. Get the recipe for Air-Fryer Low FODMAP Gluten-Free Fish Sticks.

Poached Salmon With Creamy Dill Sauce

We used to cater parties for hundreds of people, and this was a very popular dish. When you’re making it for guests, you can take the time to make the pretty cucumber scales, but they certainly are not necessary. We do suggest you take the time to make the creamy dill sauce because it is the absolute perfect accompaniment. Another great thing about this party dish is that it can be made ahead. Get the recipe for Poached Salmon With Creamy Dill Sauce.

Baked Summer Plaice

Look at the images of this Baked Summer Plaice. Are you enticed? I love flat fish (flounder is my very favorite) and cooking them whole takes advantage of the flavor that the bones provide. And yet, it can be intimidating. Cooking teacher Darina Allen takes you through the steps. Get the recipe for Baked Summer Plaice.

Salmon Burgers

We are crazy about these Salmon Burgers for so many reasons: they are super quick to make, easy enough for a work night dinner but special enough for guests. Fresh salmon is combined with tangy capers, scallions, mustard, and lemon juice; you can prep the patties in under 10 minutes. Then, you can serve them on a bed of greens, as we did here, or if you like a more classic burger presentation you can use a bun. The patties also freeze well raw, so make a bunch, freeze a few and then dinner will even be quicker next time around. Get the recipe for Salmon Burgers.

Parmesan Crusted Flounder

This simple fish dish can be made with any white fish filets, but we are partial to flounder or cod. If you have breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese at hand you will be able to make this dish with last minute notice. Don’t forget that squeeze of fresh lemon right before digging in.
