Dover Sole Mediterranean Style is a delicious dish with fillets baked on zucchini, and topped with tomatoes, capers, olives and Parmesan.

A lot of information has been published lately on social media explaining why a Mediterranean-inspired way of eating (or typical diet) is often a very healthy choice.

While I do not follow a Mediterranean diet, I have found many delicious low-fat recipes from this region in my cookbooks and food magazines, and we like them very much!

This recipe for Dover Sole Mediterranean Style is one we really, truly love. I found the original recipe in one of my cookbooks, made several ingredient changes, and ended up with this recipe we enjoy a lot!

Overall it is a very simple recipe to make, and the fish has GREAT flavor, thanks to zucchini, garlic, tomatoes, onions, kalamata olives, capers, lemon juice, green bell peppers and Parmesan cheese! Here’s how to make it.

Pat The Dover Sole Dry

The first thing you will need to do is preheat your oven to 400°F. ( 204.4°C.). After that, pat the Dover sole fillets very dry using paper towels.

For this recipe you will need four boneless, skinless fillets, each weighing between 4-6 ounces each. Once dry, set the fish aside.

Four Dover sole fillets are patted dry using paper towels.

Sauté The Veggies

Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet on Medium-Low heat (can use baking spray as a substitute, if desired). Add sliced zucchini, onion, green pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet once the oil is hot.

Cook the veggies on Medium-Low heat, stirring often, until they become crisp-tender (approx. 3-4 minutes).

Zucchini slices, onions, garlic and green peppers are cooked in olive oil.When the zucchini becomes crisp-tender, they are done cooking.

Prepare The Fish And Veggies For Baking

Transfer the zucchini mixture out of the skillet and place them in a 9″ x 13″ baking dish, spacing them evenly in a single layer.

Lay the fish fillets on top of the zucchini (again in a single layer) in the baking dish. Set the baking dish aside.

The zucchini mixture is placed in baking dish, in a single layer.Dover sole fillets are placed on top of the zucchini slices in pan.

Make A Mediterranean Topping For The Dover Sole

Now it’s time to make the topping for the fish! Place sliced kalamata olives, a can of diced tomatoes, capers, and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl, and stir to combine.

Evenly spoon the sauce on top of each of the Dover sole fillets in the baking dish. Cover the fish as much as possible with the sauce.

A sauce is made with diced tomatoes, olives, capers, sugar and lemon juice.Sauce is divided evenly over the top of each piece of fish in the baking dish.

Bake The Dover Sole Then Add Parmesan Cheese

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 400°F. ( 204.4°C.) for 22-25 minutes, OR until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove the baking dish from the oven.

Discard the foil. Sprinkle the top of each of the fillets with finely grated Parmesan cheese, and put the pan back into the oven (uncovered) for 5 more minutes.

The Dover Sole Mediterranean Style is done cooking when the Parmesan cheese has fully melted. Remove the pan from the oven. 

Grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top of the baked fish.The Parmesan has melted on top of the Dover Sole Mediterranean Style.

Time To Serve Dover Sole Mediterranean Style

Use a large slotted spatula to transfer the fish (and the zucchini mixture underneath each piece) to individual serving plates.

TIP: Quite a bit of liquid will cook out of the zucchini while baking. Using a slotted spatula to remove the fish and zucchini from the pan lets that extra liquid drip back into the pan!

Serve and enjoy the Dover Sole Mediterranean Style! It tastes delicious and we usually serve it alongside steamed rice!

I hope you will give this delicious seafood recipe a try, and trust you’ll enjoy it as much as we do. It has a lot of flavor, and is fairly low in calories, too!

Szechuan Shrimp Stir-Fry

Szechuan Shrimp Stir-Fry is a delicious meal for four, featuring shrimp, a variety of fresh vegetables, cooked in an Asian-inspired sauce.
Szechuan Shrimp Stir-Fry is a delicious meal for four, featuring shrimp, a variety of fresh vegetables, cooked in an Asian-inspired sauce.

If you’re looking for an absolutely delicious Asian main dish, may I suggest this one for Szechuan Shrimp Stir-Fry? I use a sauce from another of my recipes, then added my own touch using lots of fresh veggies to make a delicious stir-fry.

Yes, the ingredient list is fairly long, but please don’t let that stop you from making this dish. Most of the ingredients are the variety of fresh veggies used and the ingredients for the sauce which gives everything its great flavor!

The recipe itself is very straightforward to make: You stir the sauce ingredients together (super-easy), cook veggies, cook shrimp, combine all, heat and serve.

Your prep work (chopping veggies, mostly) will result in an amazing Asian-inspired dinner I truly believe you’re gonna LOVE! Here’s how to make this yummy meal.

Make The Szechuan Sauce

The homemade Szechuan sauce is the powerhouse flavor for this entire dish, and it is incredibly simple to make.

Stir dry sherry (or cooking sherry), soy sauce, sugar, salt, ketchup, sweet chili sauce, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Set the bowl aside. That’s it… I told you it was EASY!

A Szechuan sauce is made by combining several ingredients in a bowl.

Cook The Vegetables

Heat olive oil on Medium-High heat in a large skillet or wok. Once the oil is really hot (but not smoking) add the vegetables.

For this recipe I use broccoli, celery, cauliflower, carrot, and red and yellow bell peppers. All of them are prepared ahead of time by separating into small florets, slicing and/or or chopping, which can be done ahead of time!

Stir-fry the veggies for 4-5 minutes, stirring often until they become crisp-tender. Once done, transfer them out of the pan and into a bowl. Set aside.

Don’t rinse off the pan (or wok). This is the same pan you will finish the entire stir-fry in, so keep it handy on the stove top.

A variety of chopped vegetables are stir-fried in hot oil in a pan.Stir-fried vegetables are cooked until slightly tender in pan.

About The Shrimp

I use frozen, tail-off, peeled and deveined pre-cooked large shrimp for this recipe, and thaw them. This is a very convenient way to save time and effort in preparing the shrimp!

Once the shrimp have thawed, drain off any accumulated liquid, then pat them dry with paper towels before proceeding with the recipe.

Frozen pre-cooked shrimp are thawed, then patted dry before cooking.

On Your Mark, Get Set… And Go!

Get all the ingredients ready to go before beginning to make the whole stir-fry. Once you’re at this point, the cooking will go very quickly, so it’s important to have everything ready to go!

All ingredient components are ready to make the Szechuan shrimp stir-fry.

Time To Make The Stir-Fry

Heat olive oil on Medium-High in the large skillet (or wok). Add the shrimp, green onions, and minced ginger and cook, stirring often for 2-3 minutes.

Add minced garlic to the shrimp, and continue to cook for another minute, stirring often so the garlic doesn’t burn and become bitter.

Now add the previously cooked veggies back into the skillet, and stir to combine these ingredients. Cook until heated through (1-2 minutes).

Shrimp are stir-fried with green onions, fresh ginger, and garlic.The cooked vegetables are added back into the stir-fried shrimp.

Pour the Szechuan sauce into the skillet, and stir, to fully coat all the shrimp and vegetables with sauce. Continue to cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until everything is fully heated through.

Once heated through, the Szechuan Shrimp Stir-Fry is ready to serve and be enjoyed!

Szechuan sauce is added to the vegetables and shrimp in pan.Once heated through, the Szechuan Shrimp Stir-Fry is ready to serve.

Serve The Szechuan Shrimp Stir-Fry

Serve the stir-fry over hot steamed rice OR cooked noodles, whichever you prefer. There is enough stir-fry for four servings, so divide it evenly between four bowls or plates.

OPTIONAL GARNISH: If desired, garnish each portion with white sesame seeds and/or additional sliced green onions before serving.

We enjoy Szechuan shrimp stir-fry served over steamed white rice. The well-seasoned stir-fry pairs well with bland white rice, which also soaks up some of the sauce!

I really hope you enjoy this recipe… we sure do! It will keep for 1-2 days in the refrigerator after cooking, and can easily be reheated in a microwave.

    Stuffed Dover Sole For Two

    Stuffed Dover Sole For Two features rolled fillets filled with rice, cheese and broccoli, covered with a lemon butter sauce and baked. Yummy!
    Stuffed Dover Sole For Two features rolled fillets filled with rice, cheese and broccoli, covered with a lemon butter sauce and baked. Yummy!

    Do you enjoy Dover sole? We like the Dover sole fillets, because they are mild in flavor, inexpensive to buy, and are very adaptable to the many ways they can be prepared.

    Today I want to share a simple, but delicious recipe for Stuffed Dover Sole For Two, and hope you enjoy it like we do. With a little bit of pre-planning, this can be a very quick meal to get on the table, and it tastes and looks great, too!

    The recipe makes four rolled and stuffed pieces of Dover sole. We usually serve two fillets per person because once rolled, the fish fillets are small, but you could serve four people (1 fillet per person) if you want smaller servings. Here’s how to make this dish.

    Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

    Make The Simple Lemon Butter Sauce

    Preheat your oven to 350°F. before beginning, because the prep for the fish only takes a few minutes. Grease or spray a medium baking dish on the bottom, and set aside. 

    Now let’s make the sauce. In a small bowl, stir lemon juice, melted butter, salt and black pepper together until fully combined. Set the bowl aside while you prepare the stuffing for the fish.

    You will use part of this sauce in the filling and then use the remaining sauce to drizzle on the fish roll-ups before they are baked.

    Lemon juice, melted butter, salt and pepper combine to make the sauce.

    Combine The Stuffing Ingredients

    Now you’re ready to make the filling for the fish fillets. This rice, cheese, and broccoli stuffing will be rolled up in each of the fish fillets before baking.

    In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine cooked broccoli, cooked brown (or white) rice, grated cheese, salt, pepper, and ½ TABLESPOON of the lemon butter sauce. Stir gently until these ingredients have been combined.

    TIP: If possible, pre-cook the broccoli and rice for the dish early in the day (or the night before). I like to do that, so when I’m ready to make our dinner, they’re already cooked, and this dish takes less prep time.

    Cooked rice, broccoli, grated cheese and spices for stuffing, in a metal bowl.After mixing, the stuffing ingredients are ready to add to the fish.

    Prepare The Dover Sole For Baking

    Lay the fish fillets out on several thicknesses of paper towels, and blot the fish on both sides, to remove excess moisture.

    Divide the rice/broccoli/cheese mixture evenly down the middle of each fillet, covering the entire length of the piece of fish. It typically averages out to approximately ½ cup of filling per piece of fish.

    Into The Baking Dish They Go

    Carefully roll up each piece of fish starting with the short end, then place them into the prepared baking dish, with the seam side DOWN.

    If any of the stuffing falls out while transferring the fish to the baking dish, just pick it up and put it back inside! Place the fish roll-ups side by side in the dish, because they will give support and hold together better while baking.

    Evenly divide and pour (or brush) the remaining butter mixture over the top of the fish fillets. Now the Stuffed Dover Sole for Two is ready for the oven!

    Fish fillets are rolled around the stuffing and placed in greased baking dish.Lemon butter sauce is drizzled over Stuffed Dover Sole For Two before baking.

    Bake The Fish

    Bake the fish at 350°F for 20-25 minutes (uncovered) OR until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Check the fish for “doneness” at 20 minutes.

    Depending on the thickness of the fillets used, it may take 3-5 more minutes to finish cooking all the way through. The fish will be pale and opaque on the surface once fully cooked.

    Remove the baking dish from the oven. Lightly sprinkle the top of each piece with paprika. The paprika adds extra color and flavor to the Dover sole, so don’t skip this final step.

    Paprika is sprinkled over the Stuffed Dover Sole For Two, once baked.

    Serve The Stuffed Dover Sole For Two

    Use a spatula to transfer the Stuffed Dover Sole For Two onto serving plates. We serve two fillets per person for a filling meal (they’re fairly small once rolled and baked), but the serving size is your choice.

    Serve with lemon slices on the side, so the juice can be squeezed over each piece, and then enjoy this simple, delicious dish.

    Stuffed Dover Sole For Two has a simple, classic flavor I believe you’ll appreciate. The small amount of rice, cheese, broccoli, etc. in the filling adds additional color, texture, nutrients and flavor to the fish.

    Lemon slices are used to garnish the Stuffed Dover Sole For Two on the plate.

    I really hope you have the opportunity to try this recipe or Stuffed Dover Sole For Two. If you choose to pre-cook the rice and broccoli ahead of time, this is a really quick meal to pull together at the last minute!

    Thank you for stopping by, and I invite you to come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you, and have a GREAT day!

    Salmon In Spinach Cream Sauce

    Salmon In Spinach Cream Sauce is a simple, decadent seafood dish you’ll LOVE! This recipe can be made in 15 minutes (using only 1 skillet).
    Salmon In Spinach Cream Sauce is a simple, decadent seafood dish you'll LOVE! This recipe can be made in 15 minutes (using only 1 skillet).

    If you’re looking for a simple salmon recipe that is easy, pretty quick to prepare, AND tastes wonderful, here it is!

    Boneless, skinless salmon fillets are pan-seared in hot oil until browned on both sides. They are served on top of (and garnished with) a easy-to-make creamy, garlic, spinach and sun-dried tomato sauce.

    The convenient thing is this entire dish can be made using only ONE skillet, which also makes for easy clean up. YES!!! I found the original recipe on the Harry and David blog, made a few changes, and we really have enjoyed this lovely meal.

    The salmon is super delicious, and it’s perfect for serving on a busy night, without investing a lot of time or trouble making it! That a winning combination in my book.

    The recipe as written below makes two servings, but is VERY EASY to adapt for more servings. Here’s how to make it.

    Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

    Prepare The Salmon Fillets

    Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels to absorb the moisture. Sprinkle seasoning salt on top of each piece, dividing it evenly between the fillets.

    Boneless, skinless salmon fillets are patted dry, then seasoned lightly.

    Heat olive oil in a skillet on Medium heat until it is very hot, but not smoking. Lay the salmon fillets in the hot skillet with the seasoned side down.

    Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes without moving, then carefully turn the fillets to the other side, using a spatula. The salmon should be nicely browned.

    Continue to cook the salmon for another 3-4 minutes or until it is fully cooked through, and flakes easily. Transfer the salmon fillets to a platter and cover with foil, to keep them warm.

    Two salmon fillets cook, seasoned side down, in hot oil in a skillet.The salmon fillets are flipped over to cook the other side.

    Make The Spinach Cream Sauce

    Use the same skillet (without rinsing) to make the spinach cream sauce. Turn the heat down to LOW. Stir minced garlic into the hot skillet, and cook it for 30 seconds, stirring often so it doesn’t burn.

    Add baby spinach, heavy whipping cream, and chopped, sun-dried tomatoes. NOTE: The sun-dried tomatoes should be the type that are packed in olive oil. Lightly drain them and chop before adding them to the sauce.

    Toss gently until these ingredients are combined. Stir often and cook on LOW heat only until the spinach has wilted. This will only take 2-3  minutes (don’t let the cream boil).

    Sauce is made with garlic, whipping cream, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.The sauce is done when the spinach has wilted in the skillet.

    Transfer the salmon fillets back into the skillet on top of the spinach cream sauce, and then cover the skillet with a lid or foil.

    Heat on LOW only until the salmon is re-heated through (1-2 minutes), being careful to not let the cream sauce boil.

    Calories Per Serving: 364 kcal
    Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!
    Ingredients
    For Salmon:
    • 8 ounces boneless, skinless salmon fillets approx. 4 ounces per fillet
    • ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
    • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
    For Spinach Cream Sauce:
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • cups baby spinach (fresh)
    • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil) drained slightly and chopped
    • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream (OR half and half)
    • 1 pinch salt and pepper (1 pinch each) , to season sauce to taste
    Instructions
    1. Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salmon (top only) with seasoning salt.

    2. Heat olive oil in a skillet on Medium heat until very hot, but not smoking. Put salmon in skillet, seasoned side down. Cook 3-4 minutes, then carefully turn the fillets to the other side. Salmon should be nicely browned. Cook other side 3-4 minutes until fully cooked through, and flakes easily. Transfer salmon to a platter; cover with foil, to keep them warm.

    3. Use same skillet (without rinsing) to make spinach cream sauce. Turn heat down to LOW. Stir garlic into hot skillet; cook for 30 seconds, stirring often. Add spinach, whipping cream, and chopped, sun-dried tomatoes. Toss gently until combined. Stirring often, cook on LOW heat only until spinach has wilted. This takes 2-3  minutes (don't let cream boil).

    4. Carefully transfer salmon back into the skillet (on top of spinach cream sauce). Cover skillet with a lid or foil. Heat on LOW only until salmon is re-heated through (1-2 minutes), being careful to not let cream sauce boil.

    5. To serve, spoon a small amount of spinach sauce on a plate. Place a salmon fillet on top of the sauce. Spoon additional spinach cream sauce on top of the fish. Repeat with other fillet (or fillets); serve immediately while hot. Enjoy!

    Grilled Garlic Butter Halibut

    Grilled Garlic Butter Halibut is a simply seasoned, delicious dish cooked on a BBQ, and topped with mango peach salsa for serving.
    Grilled Garlic Butter Halibut is a simply seasoned, delicious dish cooked on a BBQ, and topped with mango peach salsa for serving.

    Today I want to share a delicious halibut dish that we love. Now… given the price of halibut these days, I must tell you we don’t have this too often, but when we do… it is fantastic!

    We love halibut, but unfortunately we don’t live in Alaska or go deep sea fishing to get it, so we must buy it at the store. Lately it is a fairly expensive piece of fish. My husband buys it at Costco (when we do buy it).

    I cut a big piece into smaller portions, which are perfect for this dish. That way it becomes less expensive per serving, and ends up costing per portion about the same as getting a sub sandwich or burger these days!

    It’s a treat to enjoy this delicious, firm and mild tasting white fish occasionally, and this is my favorite way I’ve come up with, to prepare it! We grill it outside, so summer is our favorite time to make grilled garlic butter halibut, especially if it’s NOT raining here in Oregon!

    The cooking method is easy and the garlic butter seasoning sauce is simple. Fresh chunky salsa topping and fresh lime juice add color and flavor to this wonderful dish! Here’s how to make it.

    Sauce And Salsa

    Melt butter in a small saucepan, then add garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, then set the sauce aside. This will be used to season the fish on the grill.

    Melted butter, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and pepper are combined for sauce.

    You will also need a chunky salsa to garnish the fish for serving. I use store bought mango peach salsa to garnish the grilled halibut, because it has a mild, slightly fruity sweet taste.

    It tastes fantastic on the fish, and is incredibly convenient (and quick) to have it already made. We can find mango peach salsa at our local Fred Meyer store (Kroger). If you can find it, use it, because it’s absolutely delicious!

    You can also use your own favorite chunky homemade salsa or purchased chunky salsa, if desired, to garnish the fish. You will only need about 4 Tablespoons to spoon over the two halibut fillets.

    TIP: The salsa garnish adds a pop of color and flavor to this dish, so don’t skip this step, even if you prefer a spicy, traditional salsa.

    Mango peach salsa is used to garnish cooked halibut for serving.

    Prepare The Halibut And BBQ Grill For Cooking

    Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel, to absorb any excess moisture. We use two boneless fillets, weighing a total of about 5 ounces each. They were also about 1″ thick.

    Two halibut fillets on a white plate, after being patted dry.

    Oil the BBQ grill grates to help keep the fish from sticking to the grill. My husband uses a wad of paper towels dipped in oil and tongs to quickly do this.

    The BBQ should be heated to medium-high If using a gas grill) and the briquettes (if using) should be red hot before adding the halibut fillets.

    The BBQ grill grates are lightly oiled before putting the halibut on the hot grill.

    Time To Grill The Halibut

    Lay the halibut fillets on the oiled, hot grill grates. Brush half the garlic butter sauce over the top of each fillet, then immediately cover the grill.

    Two halibut fillets are placed over hot coals on the BBQ.Two halibut fillets, brushed with garlic butter sauce, cooking on BBQ.

    Cook the halibut for 6-7 minutes without disturbing, then open the lid of the BBQ. Carefully turn the fish to the other side, using a spatula.

    The surface should now be golden brown. Immediately brush the fish with the remaining sauce. Cover the BBQ again.

    Cook the halibut for 3-5 more minutes, OR until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Check the temperature after 3 minutes. Don’t overcook the halibut, as it can become dry.

    The halibut fillets are flipped halfway through cooking, and brushed with sauce.

    Serve The Grilled Garlic Butter Halibut

    To serve Grilled Garlic Butter Halibut, transfer the cooked fillets to serving plates. Spoon salsa over the top of each piece, and add a lime wedge on the side, to squeeze the juice over the fish.

    We enjoyed the grilled garlic butter halibut with fresh corn on the cob and Parmesan Crumb Sugar Snap Peas (from our garden) on the side.

    It all tastes FABULOUS, and the flaky halibut is colorful, flavorful and amazing!

    I hope you will consider trying this delicious grilled garlic butter halibut. We absolutely LOVE this way to prepare halibut, when we have the opportunity to make it.

    Parmesan Herb Baked Salmon

    Parmesan Herb Baked Salmon is an easy, delicious main dish you’ll love! Salmon fillets are topped with cheese, spices and garlic, then baked!
    Parmesan Herb Baked Salmon is an easy, delicious main dish you'll love! Salmon fillets are topped with cheese, spices and garlic, then baked!

    If you’re looking for an easy main dish that doesn’t take a lot of time to prepare, then Parmesan Herb Baked Chicken might be a recipe you’ll want to check out!

    We love salmon in our home, and make it about once a week, using various recipes and methods of cooking. It’s SO GOOD!

    Making this yummy dish is as simple as stirring up a cheesy herb topping, spreading it on pieces of salmon, wrapping them in foil, then baking until done. That’s it!

    The salmon fillets are covered with a topping that is made of Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley. Cooking the salmon in foil pouches really helps to seal in flavor!

    The topping ingredients give the baked salmon lots of deliciousness! Here’s how to make this easy main dish.

    Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

    Prepare The Salmon Fillets

    Pat the salmon fillets dry, using paper towels to absorb excess moisture. I use skinless fillets when I make this recipe, but if you only have “skin-on”, that will be perfectly fine, too!

    Set the “dried” fillets aside while you make the herb and cheese topping.

    Two skinless salmon fillets laying on paper towels to absorb moisture.Using more paper towels to blot the excess moisture off the salmon fillets.

    Make The Parmesan Herb Topping

    To make the topping, place softened butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and fresh chopped parsley in a small bowl.

    TIP: You want to use butter that is really soft (but NOT melted!), to bind all the ingredients together EASILY!

    Use a fork to mix these ingredients together. It should be easy to mix these ingredients together, thanks to the soft butter.

    Soft butter, parsley, parmesan, garlic and spices are placed in a small bowl.A fork is used to fully combine all the topping ingredients in the bowl.

    Keep combining the ingredients together until the butter has been completely blended in. The mixture will be thick and “slightly” crumbly.

    Parmesan cheese, garlic herb topping is combined and ready for the salmon.

    Add The Seasoned Topping To The Salmon 

    Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet, then spray the foil lightly with non-stick baking spray.

    NOTE: The foil will need to be large enough to completely cover and seal the fish inside when it’s time to bake.

    Lay the pieces of salmon on the foil, leaving a little bit of space between the pieces. Cover the top of the fish with the cheesy herb topping, dividing the mixture evenly between the two fillets.

    Two salmon fillets, laying on aluminum foil, covered with cheese herb topping.

    Cooking The Parmesan Herb Baked Salmon

    Bring the edges of the foil up and over the salmon, and crimp all edges tightly closed, to prevent air from escaping. 

    Foil pouch, with herb topped salmon fillets inside is sealed before baking.

    Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven. Bake the salmon at 425°F (218.3°C) for about 10-12 minutes.

    When done, carefully open the foil pouch, fully exposing the parmesan herb baked salmon.

    Turn the oven to BROIL, place the baking sheet about 6 inches from the broiler element, and broil for 1-2 minutes, to give the fish a nice light brown color.

    Keep an eye on the salmon as it broils, to ensure it doesn’t burn or overcook. Remove the salmon from the oven, and serve immediately.

    Serve The Parmesan Herb Baked Salmon

    Serve the parmesan herb baked salmon immediately after removing it from the oven. Transfer the salmon to individual plates. Drizzle with melted butter remaining in the foil pouch.

    If desired, garnish each piece with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and a lemon wedge. We enjoy this pop of citrus flavor when we squeeze lemon juice on the salmon!

    I really hope you have the chance to try this simple, delicious main dish, and trust you’ll enjoy it as much as we do.

    The recipe (as written below) makes two servings, but can EASILY be doubled or tripled, to suit your needs.

      Pair the garlic lime baked salmon with a favorite side dish, and you’ve got a great meal in under 30 minutes. Here’s how to make it.

      Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

      Prepare And Season The Salmon

      Preheat your oven to 400°F. (204° C.) before beginning. Prep takes only a few minutes, so to save time, you will that oven preheated and ready to go!

      For this recipe, you will need two skinless salmon fillets, approximately 4 ounces each. Pat the salmon dry using paper towels to blot the moisture.

      Place a layer of parchment paper onto a baking sheet, then place the salmon fillets on top. Lightly sprinkle Cajun seasoning mix on the top surface only, then set the pan aside.

      Salmon fillets are patted dry with paper towels to absorb moisture.The salmon fillets are sprinkled lightly on top with Creole seasoning mix.

      Make The Garlic Lime Baking Sauce

      For the garlic lime sauce that will bake on top of the salmon, you will need fresh lime juice (and the zest from the peel). You will also use minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil and fresh chopped parsley.

      Garlic, olive oil, parsley, lime juice and zest are used as topping for fish.

      Mix the lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, olive oil and chopped parsley together in a medium sized bowl. Stir until these ingredients are fully combined.

      NOTE: Lime zest is the outer green peel of the lime, grated very finely using a microplane or the very tiny holes in a box grater. The lime peel contains oils which are released, and provide amazing flavor. Be careful to only grate the GREEN peel, NOT the white inner part. The white part of the inner peel is bitter, and you do not want that!

      Using a microplane to extract lime zest from outer peel of the lime.

      Parsley, EVOO, lime juice, garlic and lime zest in a medium bowl.After being combined, this is the topping for garlic lime baked salmon.

      Bake The Salmon

      Spoon the sauce evenly over the two salmon fillets, spreading the ingredients evenly, and dividing the mixture between the two pieces of fish. Use all of the sauce!

      Bake in a preheated 400°F (204°C) oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

      Since oven temperatures can fluctuate with different models, I suggest checking on the fish at about the 17 minute mark, to check for doneness. When done, remove the garlic lime baked salmon from the oven.

      Garlic lime sauce is divided evenly on top of salmon fillets before baking.Garlic lime baked salmon is cooked and ready to transfer to plates.

      Serve The Garlic Lime Baked Salmon

      Serve the garlic lime baked salmon while hot. Transfer the fillets to individual plates, and garnish with more chopped parsley and/or a couple of lime wedges (to squeeze juice over the fish).

      These are optional garnishes, of course, but really add to the color, flavor, and presentation of the finished dish. I don’t think you will regret adding these ingredients, ESPECIALLY the lime wedges.

      Serve the fish with a couple of your favorite side dishes, and enjoy this delicious garlic lime baked salmon!

        Easy Baked Mahi Mahi

        Easy Baked Mahi Mahi is delicious and is a cinch to make! Lightly seasoned fillets are served with browned butter, garlic, herb and lemon sauce.

        Do you enjoy seafood dishes? We do at our home, and one of the varieties of fish we really enjoy is Mahi Mahi. Firm in texture and mild in flavor, this is a very versatile fish my husband and I enjoy whenever we can!

        Curious about mahi mahi? To learn more interesting facts about Mahi Mahi, its source and nutritional info., etc., check out this info source here.

        My husband picks up a big bag of frozen mahi mahi fillets every couple of months from Costco. Each boneless fillet is individually wrapped and the pieces vary in sizes. I’ve featured mahi mahi in other recipes on my blog over the years.

        Once my husband brings it home, I know we will be enjoying mahi mahi in our dinner rotation. I found this particular recipe online, and when we want a simple seafood meal, this is one I easily choose. It’s a super easy recipe, requires only a few ingredients and it’s delicious. Here’s how to make easy baked mahi mahi.

        Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

        Prepare The Mahi Mahi For Baking

        Pat boneless mahi mahi fillets dry using paper towels to absorb the excess moisture. Season each piece lightly with salt and black pepper, on both sides.

        TIP: Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, to help minimize your cleanup. This is an optional step, but one I recommend.

        Spray the foil generously with non-stick baking spray. Cut a large lemon into 6 thin, round slices. Place two of the lemon slices together (for each piece of fish) on the aluminum foil.

        Three boneless mahi mahi fillets are patted dry, then rest on plate before seasoning.

        Time To Bake The Mahi Mahi

        Place each piece of seasoned mahi mahi on top of two lemon slices. The shape of the fillets may vary slightly, but each piece should weigh about 4 ounces. If the fillet is long, length-wise, place a lemon slice under each end.

        Bake the mahi mahi in a preheated 400° F. (204.4°C.) oven for 10-15 minutes. I recommend placing the baking pan on the middle rack in the oven for best heat circulation.

        How Will I Know When The Fish Is Done?

        The amount of time it takes to bake the fish will obviously depend on the thickness of the fish fillets you use. A “general rule” is that fish should be cooked about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.

        A “safe” internal temperature for cooked mahi mahi is between 137°F-145°F. to ensure it is fully cooked through. If you have a meat thermometer, use it, to make sure you don’t undercook OR overcook the mahi mahi.

        The fish will only be slightly browned on top, and can be easily flaked with a fork when fully cooked.

        Seasoned mahi mahi fillets placed on top of lemon slices on a foil-covered baking sheet.

        Make The Garlic Butter Sauce While the Fish Bakes

        While the fish bakes, you can quickly make the simple garlic butter and lemon sauce to spoon or drizzle over the finished fish.

        Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan on Medium-Low heat. Continue to cook for a few minutes, stirring often, as you make browned butter.

        The butter will begin bubbling, and will turn brown as the milk solids separate, due to the heat. It will also develop a slightly “nutty” aroma as it browns.

        Once the butter has melted and browned, stir in minced garlic, and continue cooking for 30 seconds more. Be careful to not let the butter burn, or it becomes bitter in taste.

        Butter sauce is made by first melting butter in a saucepan.Browned butter cooking in a saucepan, with minced garlic added for flavor.

        Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in fresh lemon juice and fresh (or dried) chopped parsley, until incorporated into the browned butter.

        Normally I use fresh parsley from our garden, but when I photographed this, our garden (and house) was covered with 4 inches of snow, so I had no fresh parsley (sigh).

        TIP: If using fresh parsley, you will use 1 Tablespoon, but if using dried you will only need 1 teaspoon, because the flavor is more concentrated in dried herbs.

        Lemon juice and dried (or fresh) parsley is stirred into the butter (off the heat).

        Serve The Easy Baked Mahi Mahi

        Once safely cooked to 137-145°F., remove the mahi mahi from the oven. Transfer the mahi mahi immediately (keeping the lemon slices underneath) to serving plates.

        Spoon some of the garlic butter “sauce” over each piece of fish, making sure to get lots of minced garlic on each piece! If you have access to fresh parsley, add a couple sprigs to each piece of fish, for a pop of color!

        Serve immediately while hot, and dig in! We enjoyed this easy baked mahi mahi served with brown rice and steamed broccoli on the side. It was a nice, light meal. YUM!

        Pan-Seared Steelhead Trout

        Pan-Seared Steelhead Trout is a delicious, easy to make dish! Trout fillets are cooked in a simple browned butter, shallot and garlic sauce!

        Recently my husband bought some steelhead trout in the fish department at our local grocery store. He brought it home and told me he wanted to try it, because it looked good. When I saw the fillets he bought, I thought he was mistaken! I was absolutely convinced he had accidentally bought salmon fillets.

        Well, I was WRONG! It turns out that steelhead trout, which is common to the West coast (and Alaska), LOOKS a lot like salmon. It has the same orange-pink color as salmon, and is similar in taste and texture, but it’s actually TROUT. Who knew? Certainly not me!

        My decision was made to pan-sear them, and I knew I wanted to use sauce to add flavor. I ended up making a simple sauce with browned butter, minced garlic, dried dill weed and chopped shallots.

        Pan-seared steelhead trout turned out to be delicious, low in calories, and quite easy to prepare. The cooking technique I used is similar to how I make Pan Seared Creole Salmon. Here’s how to make this dish using one pound of steelhead trout (approx. 3 servings).

        Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

        Prepare The Trout For Cooking

        Pat the trout fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture before seasoning. Lightly season the fish (flesh side only) with salt and black pepper.

        Three steelhead trout fillets are seasoned with salt and pepper before cooking.

        Pan-Sear the Steelhead Trout

        Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter in a large skillet on Medium heat. Once the butter melts, add chopped shallots, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

        Place the steelhead trout in the hot skillet, with the skin side facing up. Cook the trout fillets on Medium heat for 3 minutes, without moving them in the skillet.

        Stir minced garlic and dried dill weed into the butter sauce, and cook the fish and sauce 1 more minute. Be sure to stir the sauce often, so the garlic doesn’t burn. 

        Chopped shallots are cooked in melted butter in a large skillet.Steelhead fillets are cooked, skin side up, in a skillet with melted butter and shallots.

        The butter sauce will begin to brown as it is cooked, which gives it a wonderful, slightly nutty flavor! The fish is ready to flip over once the bottom side is nicely seared and browned.

        Browned butter with shallots, garlic and herbs are cooked in skillet with 3 steelhead trout fillets.

        Baste The Trout With Garlic Shallot Butter Sauce

        Turn the steelhead trout fillets to the other side (flesh facing up). Use a spoon to scoop up the sauce, and drizzle it over each piece. Continue to cook the fish for 4-5 more minutes until cooked though. 

        Spoon the sauce over the trout fillets continuously as they finish cooking. This basting adds wonderful flavor to the fish, because of the browned butter, shallots, dill weed and garlic!

        Pan-seared steelhead trout fillets are browned and drizzled with brown butter sauce in skillet.

        Time To Serve The Pan-Seared Steelhead Trout

        Once the trout is fully cooked through and flakes easily, it is ready to serve. Use a large spatula to transfer the pan-seared steelhead trout onto individual plates.

        To garnish the dish, squeeze lemon juice over each fillet, and top with fresh parsley and a lemon slice, if desired. This adds additional color and a pop of lemon flavor to the fish!

        Air Fryer Crusted Mahi Mahi

        Air Fryer Crusted Mahi Mahi is a delicious, easy dish! Mahi Mahi fillets are coated in seasoned Panko breadcrumbs and air fried until crispy!
        Air Fryer Crusted Mahi Mahi is a delicious, easy dish! Mahi Mahi fillets are coated in seasoned Panko breadcrumbs and air fried until crispy!

        Today I want to share a recipe for air fryer crusted mahi mahi (its Hawaiian name) that we really enjoy! Boneless fillets of this firm white fish are covered with a seasoned panko breadcrumb topping, and then cooked in an air fryer until browned and crispy!

        The recipe could not be more simple, and if you happen to own an air fryer you’ll appreciate how easy is to prepare this crispy fish.

        We love mahi mahi! It does not have a “fishy taste”, but is a mild flavored piece of fish. Frozen individually wrapped fillets can be found in the frozen food department of many grocery stores (or Costco), and whole fillets can often be found at a local fish market.

        The prep time for this is only about 5 minutes, then the mahi mahi cooks in the air fryer, with only a quick flip over, about halfway through the cooking. That’s it! 

        Perhaps you are unfamiliar with this delicious piece of seafood. If you’re interested in learning more about this type of fish, be sure to check out the information HERE, which tells you the origins of this fish, where it is commonly found, and lots of other cool facts! Here’s how to make air fryer crusted mahi mahi.

        Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

        Prepare The Panko And Spice Topping

        NOTE: Before making the topping for the fish, preheat your air fryer to 400°F. The prep for this dish only takes a few minutes, so you want the air fryer hot, in order to save time!

        Combine panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper in a shallow bowl or dish. Stir to fully combine these ingredients.

        This is the panko topping that will coat and season the mahi mahi. The crispy panko breadcrumbs are what will give the fish its crunchy texture on the outside!

        Panko breadcrumbs are combined with a variety of spices to coat the fish fillets.

        Prepare The Fish Fillets

        Use several paper towels to pat each of the mahi mahi fillets dry. Use a pastry brush to coat all sides of each piece of fish with olive oil.

        Please note that we only used three fillets this time instead of four, as the recipe calls for. 

        Mahi Mahi fillets are dried off with paper towels then wait to be breaded.Each fish fillet is brushed on all sides with olive oil.

        Add Breadcrumb Seasoning To The Mahi Mahi

        Place the mahi mahi fillets (one at a time) onto the breadcrumb seasoning mixture. Press the breadcrumbs on gently, to help adhere them to the fish. Coat all sides of the fish with the seasoned panko.

        Place each coated fillet onto a large plate, then lightly spritz the top and bottom of each piece of fish with additional olive oil. This will help the panko breadcrumb coating to become very crisp on both sides.

        The oiled Mahi Mahi fillets are coated, one at a time in seasoned panko breadcrumbs.Panko coated fish fillets are spritzed with olive oil before being put into air fryer to cook.

        Cooking The Mahi Mahi Fillets

        Place the breaded/sprayed mahi mahi fillets (in a single layer) in the basket of the air fryer. Cook at 400°F. for 6-7 minutes, then gently turn the fish fillets over to the other side.

        They should be nicely browned on the surface. Continue cooking for an additional 6-8 minutes until cooked through. The panko crust on the fish should be nicely browned and crispy, as well.

        Be careful to not overcook the fish. Because mahi mahi is a very lean fish, if overcooked, it runs the risk of being dry, and we don’t want that, do we?

        Three crusted mahi mahi fillets are placed in the air fryer basket to be cooked.Halfway through the air frying time, the fillets are flipped to cook the other side.

        Serve The Air Fryer Crusted Mahi Mahi

        Transfer the air fryer crusted mahi mahi to individual serving plates. Garnish each piece of fish with a lemon wedge or two (for squeezing) and fresh parsley for additional color and flavor.

        We also love to add peach/mango salsa (which we get at Costco), and lightly spoon it over the top of each piece. That is optional, but oh so good!

        The air fryer crusted mahi mahi pairs well with a great variety of side dishes. When I made the dish this time, I served it with Pineapple Topped Sweet Potato Puff. That was a unique pairing, but they actually ended up complimenting each other very well!

        Ingredients
        • pounds Mahi Mahi fillets (4 fillets)
        • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil + additional for spritzing
        • cups panko breadcrumbs
        • 1 teaspoon paprika
        • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
        • ½ teaspoon onion powder
        • ½ teaspoon salt
        • ½ teaspoon black pepper
        OPTIONAL: Lemon wedges, fresh parsley sprigs, and/or salsa, to serve
          Instructions
          1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

          2. Combine panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in shallow bowl or dish. Stir to combine.

          3. Pat mahi mahi fillets dry with paper towels. Use a pastry brush to coat all sides of each fillet with olive oil.

          4. Lay fillets (one at a time) on breadcrumbs. Press breadcrumbs onto fish to adhere and coat each with breadcrumbs on all sides. Place each coated fillet onto a large plate; lightly spritz top and bottom sides of each fillet with additional olive oil. This helps panko breadcrumb coating to become very crisp.

          5. Place fish in a single layer in air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F. for 6-7 minutes, then gently turn fish over to the other side. Continue cooking for 6-8 minutes. Fish should be fully cooked; breadcrumb crust should be crisp and browned when done. Be careful to not overcook the fish (or it can become dry).

          6. Transfer mahi mahi to individual serving plates. Garnish each piece with lemon wedges (for squeezing) and fresh parsley., if desired. Also can spoon salsa over the top of each piece, for additional flavor (optional). Enjoy!
