Growing up in an Italian Catholic family, eating fish on Fridays during Lent was a tradition for us. It was never really explained to me why we did it, (though now I know it is a form of abstinence) we just did and because I’ve always loved fish I just never questioned it. To this day, I still practice fish for Fridays during Lent and love to cook it up for my family who loves fish and (most) seafood as much as I do.
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while then you have probably seen me post lots and lots of fish recipes…I wanted to bring some forward from the archives – like the Blackened Tilapia Sandwich with Cilantro Lime Mayonnaise shown above – for anyone who is looking for new ways to serve fish and seafood, especially during Lent. These recipes would also be perfect for someone who’s just starting to cook with fish.
Here are few more of my favorites, plus a few that I’ve come across on the blogs:
Sweet and Spicy Salmon (this is the recipe that got my kids hooked on salmon!)
Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta
a few more from friends…
Crispy Baked Fish Sticks with Spicy Buffalo Tartar Sauce from from Savoring The Thyme
Tilapia with Tomatoes and Fresh Spinach (aka Michele’s Tilapia!) from At Home With Kim
Shrimp and Cabbage Tacos with Cilantro Yogurt Sauce from Bev Cooks
Orange Glazed Salmon from Mom’s Cooking Club
Herbed Salmon Croquettes from Meet Me In The Kitchen
Caribbean Citrus Mahi Mahi with Brown Rice Noodles from Love Veggies and Yoga
and if you’re on Pinterest, come check out my growing Fish For Friday board!

Thanks for linking my fish and wow, these all look fabulous!
If anyone knows how to get fish-cooking-smell out of my house sooner than 72 hours later, I’d love to know
Thank you for sharing that fish! It looks so delicious! And for the smell…I hate when it’s stuck on my pan and whatever I cook next tastes like it.
I’m going to grill up some salmon tonight…keep it outside 
Have a great weekend!
Good Friday Morning Aggie! You always inspire me to cook with fresh, wholesome and nutritious ingredients. I love how you take fish and spice it up to make it something “extra special”. For instance your lemon pepper on fish suggestion a few posts ago has changed my family to become seafood at home lovers. Can’t wait to try these other recipes!!! They all look so delish. PS ~ Thanks for linking that Tilapia recipe!
