Parmesan-Crusted Catfish Filets

Parmesan-Crusted Catfish Filets is a great fish dish. The seasonings are just right, and the Parmesan cheese adds delicious flavor. Fast, Easy and Healthy!

Parmesan Crusted Tilapia

This recipe is for 2, but I have easily doubled it for more.

This bakes so quickly that I often make a bunch of these fillets and eat them leftover for lunches.

You can use Tilapia if you can’t find catfish!

I almost always serve with Oven Roasted Asparagus and a Almond Orange Salad. For dessert it’s this easy Creamy Apple Dessert.

All very easy recipes, and very delicious.

Cheesecake Factory Shrimp Scampi

This recipe is a decent clone of my favorite Cheesecake Factory Shrimp Scampi meal. All of my friends that have tried it have really enjoyed it and declare that it tastes just like Cheesecakes.

I was very skeptical about how this was going to turn out but it proved to be very good. Maybe not exactly like CCF but still very good!

It’s close enough that now whenever I have a taste for Cheesecake Factory Shrimp Scampi I can make a clone myself.

Paula Deen Beer Battered Fish and Chips

I love Paula Deen recipes and this Paula Deen Beer Battered Fish and Chips recipe is near the top of my list. I made the batter pretty thick, which I prefer.

Paula Deen Beer Battered Fish and Chips

The batter gives a nice flavor to the fish without being overpowering and is nice and crispy.

One thing you should know about this recipe: Make sure your fish is dry. You don’t want to try to make this with wet and water-logged fish.

Pat it dry with a paper towel. It also helps to then rest the fish in the fridge or counter top to allow the fish to dry out even more.

Not using fresh fish can give you even more trouble.

Southern Fried Salmon Patties

Southern Fried Salmon patties were a regular on the dinner table when I was growing up. I suspect it was because canned salmon was fairly cheap and we didn’t have much money.

This recipe is very reminiscent of how my mother used to make them back in the day!

I can’t tell you how long I looked for this specific recipe! All the others I’ve seen called for breadcrumbs and no mayo. If this is not the recipe my mom used it is darned close.

They are extremely quick and easy and very moist when done. This dish is now in my monthly rotation along with pinto beans, stewed potatoes, and cornbread.

Just like my mom served so long ago!

The first time I used tilapia like the recipe calls for but I’ve also used catfish. I think this would work with any mild white fish.

This is based on a Cambodian recipe called Pa-con char tapeng P’rang. It’s much easier to make than it is to pronounce that name. It uses mostly common ingredients, well if you call oyster sauce common.

Once everything is prepped this recipe goes together quick.

Serving the shrimp over brown or white rice makes for a very enjoyable lunch.

Shrimp and Asparagus Stir Fry

Ingredients
1 lb shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, sliced
1 lb asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 green onion, chopped

Directions

In a large bowl, place the shrimp, seasoning with salt and pepper; set aside.

In a smaller bowl, mix the water with the sugar, oyster sauce, and corn starch; set aside.

Heat your wok, or skillet, over high heat; stir fry oil, garlic, onion, and shrimp.

Once shrimps become opaque and a pink color, add the asparagus.

Stir in the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens; remove from the heat and stir in the green onion.

Serve with hot white rice as desired. Enjoy!
