Chex Coated Fish

We try to make fish at least a few times a week. I like to do something that helps cut the fish taste just a bit.

This was simple and we loved it:

1-2 tablespoons butter/margarine
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Crushed Corn Chex

Melt the butter and add in the lemon. Brush the lemon butter on the fish and then sprinkle with the Chex. We will make this again and we'll use more Chex. I was so uncertain how the Chex would taste on the fish that I used a small amount. My daughter told me we should double it next time.

Corn Flake Fish Fillets (dairy free)

I was very please with how these came out:

3-5 fish fillets
2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
1 teaspoon lemon zest (I used lemon zest because I didn't have a lemon in the house or on the tree)
2 cups crushed corn flakes

Brush the melted butter on the fish fillets. Sprinkle the lemon zest and corn flake mixture on the fish. Bake at 350 degrees about 20 or 25 minutes, until fish is done.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

I haven't had tuna noodle casserole for a while now. I got a craving and so I tried a new recipe.

We pretty much only eat quinoa pasta these days. We all like the taste and it's much healthier than white flour pasta.

In a bowl mix together:

6-8 ounces of pasta (I believe this box was 8 ounces, we used elbow pasta, but you can use bow ties or shells also)
1 can of tuna (6 ounce can)
1/2 of an onion chopped (I just ran it through my chopper)
1 can cream of chicken soup (I would've used cream of celery if I had it in the house)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup shredded cheese (we used mexican blend)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 box frozen peas (one whole box was a bit too much)

Cook the pasta according to package directions and drain. While the pasta is cooling down and draining, mix together the remaining ingredients, except the peas. Add in the pasta and peas and mix gently so you don't break the pasta or peas.

Place in casserole dish and bake at 375 degrees about 45 minutes.

My daughter loved it. I would've preferred a few changes:

1. I'd use only half the peas
2. I would use a stronger cheese for a stronger flavor
3. I would use either cream of broccoli or cream of celery soup
4. I might mix half sour cream, half mayonnaise for added flavor

Corn Flake Halibut

I love white fishes. This is a yummy recipe for white fishes such as halibut, white snapper or tilapia:

4 fish fillets
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups corn flakes, crushed

Soak the fish in the milk for 5 minutes. Pour the melted butter over the fish. Sprinkle the cornflakes on the fish and bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Baking time will vary according to thickness of fish. Fish will flake when done.

Salmon Patties

These come out tasting great. I love them on a hamburger bun with some mayonnaise on the bread.

Salmon Patties

1 can salmon
1 cup crushed crackers
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Form into patties and cook as you would cook pancakes.
