What are some interesting ways to prepare fish for a picky eater?

He likes beef, chicken and pork but I'm trying to get him to eat more fish. The only thing he's liked so far is boneless salmon filets crusted in coconut.... Any ideas?

    Well, I would say slice some tilapia or halibut real thin and fry it with some good ole Louisiana Fish Fry. That's how my mom got me to eat fish and it's delicious.

    BUT I have a feeling you're trying to get him to eat healthier so in that case, Salmon is the safest bet because it doesn't take a lot of work to disguise it. There are a ton of ways to cook it too. One easy way to cook it is to blacken it, which means butter it, sprinkle some chili powder and cajun spices on it, grill or cook in a cast iron skillet, and serve it with barbecue sauce, mayo-mustard sauce, or Heinz 57.

    You can also barbecue it on the grill, or glaze it with an orange sauce, or cook it in a smoker with hickory chips, or make salmon cakes.

    Enjoy!

    Get some parchment paper, fold it in half.

    Take any type of fish you want, spray with olive oil, thinly sliced shallots, herbs of your choice and a spray of lemon. You can add some veggies too if you like.

    Place the fish at the middle of the fold, and fold one half over it, then start at one corner and start folding over to make a pouch and keep going until you have made a half moon.

    In a pre-heated oven @ 325f place the pouch in the oven for 25 minutes.

    Its a great healthy way to cook fish. To change it up all you have to do is use your imagination and keep changing up the flavourings.

    Good luck and enjoy

    There is no one single Paleo Diet, as our ancestors from all over the world ate dramatically different diets depending on the climate where they lived, their landscape, accessibility to water bodies, and the latitude that they lived. This is a detailed meal plan for the paleo diet https://tr.im/Az3uJ

    In some cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% plant foods and 10% animal foods, and in other cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% animal foods and 10% plant foods.

    For example, our ancestors that lived near the equator had year long access to more plant materials such as root vegetables and various fruits, veggies, and nuts.

    On the other hand, our ancestors that lived at higher latitudes further away from the equator only had access to fruits and vegetables seasonally at one specific time period per year, and had larger periods of the year where they ate a higher % of meats, organ meats, fish, and other animal-based foods, or fermented foods that could be stored for winter.

    Talipia, pan fried crispy with a garlic pepper seasoning blend. Best served on a toasted hamburger bun with mayo and lettuce. Had this in Half Moon Bay on Saturday. It was awesome. You could also try shrimp crusted in coconut, very tasty.

    My husband was the same way until he tried this:

    Tilapia filets sauteed in butter and lime. Salt and pepper the filets. Melt butter in skillet with a little lime zest and garlic. Two to three minutes on each side. Delicious! Enjoy.

    Talapia is good too, it generally has less of a fishy flavor if thats what they are picky about. Maybe Sushi too? I know my dad wont eat cooked fish like cooked salmon, but he loves salmon sashimi and nigiri because there is hardly any fishy flavor when it is raw.

    Try starting out with some shrimp cocktail. Many people who aren't so crazy about seafood enjoy crustaceans. ie: crab, clam, lobster and even canned tuna.

    Once you introduce the crustaceans, the eater may be open to other kinds of fish.

    Try a mild fish. Maybe something like fluke (flounder)? We bread it in egg and breadcrumb and fry it, and it's off the table in 10 minutes!

    *it tastes good with ketchup or cocktail sauce*

    hope this helps

    Halibut is a good type of fish to try for people who aren't big fans of the fish flavor. It's a good introduction to fish. :)
