I never cared for fish when I was growing up, but now with many more types of fish available, I eat it a couple of times a week. Alaskan halibut is my favorite. And, if you eat fish during Lent, it's plentiful at the perfect time.

Ingredients
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese2 tablespoon flour
4 halibut steaks (each 4 to 6 ounces), fresh or thawed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh, chopped parsley
Mix the cheese and the flour together and spread the mixture out on a plate or wax paper. Using tongs, dip the halibut stakes in the mixture to coat them evenly on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pan until it is hot enough that a droplet of water sizzles in it. Sauté the fish steaks in the oil for approximately 10 minutes per inch of thickness, turning them halfway through so that both sides are golden brown. Cook until the fish flakes when a fork or knife is inserted in it. Take care not to overcook.
Remove the fish from the pan as soon as it’s done and transfer it to a platter.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve it with lemon wedges.
Serves 4.

fish is my mainstay. I eat it at least 4 times a week and enjoy several types. Salmon is my favorite with roasted veggies but I love halibut and tilapia as well with pesto. Thanks for the lovely giveaway and yummy recipe. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. You're definitely a fish lover. Good luck in the book raffle.
DeleteThank you for sharing the recipe. I will use this for my husband who loves fish. So I am always looking for something a little different for him. Me personally, I dont like fish. LOL unless its fish sticks slathered with tarter sause. LOL quilting lady 2 at comcast dot net
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting, Lori. I hope your husband likes this recipe.
DeleteThis recipe sounds so good we would use cod with it. My fav fish is dungeness crab I lived in SF area for 49 years and loved crab and then married an Iowan and moved to Iowa and you can't find that kind of crab out here so everyones fav is either pike or cod especially those that don;t eat meat during lent on Fridays so a lot of restaurants offer specials on the fish during that time . Have lived in eastern Iowa now for 18 years and want to get back to Ca as all my family lives there. peggy clayton
ReplyDeleteHi Peggy, This might not be the best recipe for cod because it's classified as a tender fish, not a firm one. It might flake apart in the pan when you try to turn it over.
DeleteI enjoy fish since it is so tasty, light and delectable especially trout, salmon and halibut. Roasted slowly with kale and this is wonderful. elliotbencan(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI enjoy eating fish, just not cooking fish. Recipe looks really tasty, but I'll have to have somebody else cook it.
ReplyDeletediannekc8(at)gmail(dot)com
If someone else cooks it, fish tastes even better! ;-)
DeleteI definitely need to try this recipe. We had halibut regularly when I was growing up, but the last time I made it at home I didn't care for it. So need to do a little research and experiment with recipes to see what I like. Thanks for the giveaway.

Thanks for your comment, Sally! I have to say that I find halibut tastes best in the spring.
DeleteI do enjoy eating fish, my favorite is teriyaki glazed salmon though I also enjoy tilapia and cod. longbarb11(at)aol(dot)com
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I also enjoy teriyaki glazed salmon!
DeleteThere are three types of clam chowder: Manhattan (red), New England (white with milk), and Rhode Island.
ReplyDeleteI made RI style fish chowder for dinner yesterday: cod fish, swordfish (both frozen, then thawed), onions, celery, thyme, and broth (Better Than Bouillon lobster flavor). A semi-clear broth with lots of flavor. I made it Friday to allow the flavors to build.

Hi Libby, Thanks for your comment. In the Chesapeake Bay area, another type of chowder is popular. It's like the RI broth style, but only with clams, not other fish. There's a recipe for it in the second book of my series--Scam Chowder.
DeleteNope don't eat meat or fish! (and I would love to see some 5 ingredients veggie recipes!)
ReplyDeleteMy son and daughter-in-law are vegetarians. I'll ask them for a good 5-ingredient recipe. Thanks for commenting, but if you'd like to win a book, please comment again with your e-mail address.
DeleteI have them all (thank you!) so I am happy for anyone else to win :D
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYes, we love fish of all kinds. My favorite fish meal is red snapper stuffed with crab meat. We also love salmon, and any sort of fish or seafood, really. If you like simple recipes, top fish fillets with either pesto sauce or salsa and bake the fish until it is opaque and flakes with a fork.

Thank you for your comment, Nancy. We make tons of pesto every year and freeze a lot of it. I'll have to try baking fish with pesto on top.
DeleteI do like eating fish. I especially like salmon, either pan fried or slow roasted in the oven. Thanks for the recipe and giveaway! aut1063(at)gmail(dot)com.

Both of those fish dishes sound yummy. Thank you for commenting.
DeleteI don't think there is any fish that I don't enjoy. I tend to eat salmon more than any other, so it must be my favorite.

My family enjoy having fish as a meal. Most of the time due to cost factor we choose tilapia but if we can afford Lake Erie perch or walleye that is our second choice. When we have a chance we also purchase some shrimp. robeader53(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI love fish,especially parmesan crusted tilapia. I've read all your books and really enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting, Kathy, and for your kind words about my books.
DeleteI forgot to post my email address (again). It's clugston.kathy@yahoo.com

I like fish cooked certain ways, and this looks great. Legallyblonde1961@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI do like fish but am a bit spoiled. Grew up on fresh caught lake fish in Wisconsin. Then lived on the east coast of Florida for 5 years. Got pretty spoiled. This looks good. Will have to see if they sell any of these types of fish in out Central Texas grocery store. gayleboyce@gmail.com
