HELP.....how to cook fish
Fish is easy. Put on aluminum foil. Season with whatever catches your fancy. Wrap it up and put it in the toaster oven, 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Regular oven works too, of course, but when you're just making enough for you, the toaster oven is easier. For salmon, my favorite seasoning is pesto butter. Other fish, I use infused olive oils along with whatever seasonings are on hand with a little lemon squeezed over it. Oh, and fresh baked salmon with Greek yogurt is great!
My family loves salmon roasts... Take the roast and salt and pepper the inside. Slice lemons into thin rings and put inside roast. Wrap roast in foil and bake at 350 for 20 minutes (check to make sure it flakes). You can also do this on your grill... If grilling, I poke a bunch of teeny holes in the foil with toothpick to let charcoal flavor in. To cook it like this you need to close the lid on the grill.
Here's something to try if you want to keep a frozen tilapia in the frig.
It's from Costco....I haven't tried it yet but I know other who have and it's gotten good reviews.

I don't think the salmon would work w/out a vacuum sealer. As an aside, I think a vacuum sealer is an indispensable kitchen tool. Especially now that we eat so little. Sealing/freezing anything from fresh thinks you buy on sale (I just bought about $80 worth of Orange Roughy on sale for $8.99/# and will vacuum seal and freeze) to leftovers to making a big batch of something and freezing. I made fresh marinara sauce last summer, vacuum sealed it and served it a few weeks ago. Unbelievably fresh taste!
The salmon:
Sprinkle salmon filets w/ Chef Paul Prudhomme's Salmon Seasoning (or your seasoning of choice -- I think his is amazing!)
Vacuum seal the filets. Allow to "marinate" for 15 minutes.
Hea****er to between 113 and 122 degrees. (Very easy to maintain this temperature w/out any fancy equipment).
Submerge the vacuum sealed fillets (I have only done 2 at a time) in the water for 15 to 20 minutes.
Cut open the bag and enjoy moist delicious salmon.
This is the only "sous vide" recipe I've tried since I don't have any of the equipment needed to do others but I understand it's a great way to cook. Here's an interesting link for anyone who's interested.

The easiest way to do it for me is to broil it. Spray a baking pan with PAM, put the fish in, sprinkle with whatever seasoning you want (I do Tony's, because it works on everything), under a broiler at about 375 until it looks right (I've never actually timed it).
Super simple, and you can get other things ready while it's cooking.
