This seasoned fish recipe works well with most white fish like cod, tilapia, swai or haddock. Grill, bake or pan-sear your fish for a quick & healthy meal.
Seasoned white fish. I have been wracking my brain for a couple of days now trying to come up with a better name for this recipe. As you can see, I still have not thought of anything so I’m going to leave it generic for now and just call it that. I have made this several times now; it’s slowly becoming my go-to fish recipe when I’m not cooking salmon.
This recipe calls for 1 1/2 pounds of fish that you will either cook on your stove, bake, or grill. I have made this recipe all three ways and I seriously don’t have a preference. Since the weather is nice almost year-round in Los Angeles, I tend to use my grill for this. When it comes to the fish, this will work well with almost any mild white fish. Some options are: tilapia, cod, haddock, swai, pollock or sole. If you’re feeling a little lost, Cooking Light has a good article about choosing the right fish to cook with.

While I usually use tilapia, for the pictures you see in this particular blog post I used swai. If you’re wondering why it’s because swai just happened to be on sale.
Just wondering, but could you give me two or three ideas (more if you can) of what you could serve as side dishes for this meal? I know a lot of recipes for meat but I always have a hard time coming up with sides that work with it…
Of course. This is great paired with rice (regular or cauliflower depending on what your dietary needs are), mashed cauliflower or potatoes, and a simple salad. Or side of vegetables like green beans.
What other seasoning could I used if my husband doesn’t like cumin?
I would try ground coriander or ground caraway. Enjoy!
This looks light on the waistline, heavy on taste- PERFECT!!!
This looks fantastic, I can’t wait to try it this weekend!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the recipe. Let me know how it turns out:-)
Used your recipe as a guide, all ingrediants were dry organic spices and the fish was fresh sea bream. Pan frieid with EEOV spray (omitted the Olive oil). Delicious!
This was absolutely delicious!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
