What to make for dinner with fish

Salmon fillets, a bag of frozen white fish or a tin of tuna: fish cooks faster than almost any other dinner. Let us pick one fish dinner and show you the video.

We have 94 fish dinners to pick from, all cooking videos with captions, which makes a written recipe much more likely to work.

Tips for cooking with fish

Fish is done when it turns opaque and flakes easily, so check it early: a few minutes too long makes it dry.
Pat fillets dry before frying so the skin crisps instead of steaming.
In a curry, add the fish near the end and simmer gently so the pieces hold together.

Questions about fish dinners

Which fish do the videos use?

Salmon, cod, haddock, tilapia, tuna, mackerel, trout and other white fish, plus regional fish in curries. Most recipes work with a similar fish if you cannot find the one in the video.

Can I use frozen fish?

Often, yes, especially in curries and bakes. Thaw it in the fridge first and pat it dry so it does not water down the sauce.

Can I filter fish dinners by diet?

Not on this page yet: too few fish videos were chosen for a specific diet to pick from fairly, so every pick comes from the full pool. Check the recipe if you avoid anything; the dinner decider has a diet question.
