Interesting cod, haddock and tuna recipes?

My mum only ever buys those breaded cod fillets, which is getting very boring. so we were thinking about buying just plain fish fillets and using them in some tasty recipes.





does anyone have any tried-and-tested recipes for these types of fish?


the only idea i've had is some kind of tomato salsa topping for cod, but i wouldn't know what ingredients would need to be used etc etc.





and please can i have measurements in english terms - i.e not in 'cup' measurements, because we don't have any measuring cups.





:)

Panko Haddock


Ingredients


453.59 g haddock


473.18 ml panko


236.59 ml milk


118.30 ml butter


29.58 ml lemon juice





Directions


1 Preheat over to 500 degrees. Heating at a higher tempeture for lower time keeps the fish moist- especially with milk.


2 Clean fish well. Make sure to dry well. Cut into equal serving pieces.


3 Place milk and breadcrumbs in seperate bowls.


4 Soak fish in milk. This is the key to make it moist.


5 Coat fish with panko breadcrumbs. Make sure to add seasoning to plain panko crumbs. I use oregano, pepper, ground mustard -- and have added hot peppers (but I like a little spice in everything). The key is adding some seasoning to the Panko breadcrumbs.


6 Spray a glass cooking dish with PAM.


7 Place each coated filet in the glass dish.


8 Drizzle lemon juice equally over fish.


9 Melt butter in micowave.


10 Drizzle melted butter over fish.


11 Cook for 15 minutes.


12 Enjoy.


Serves 4.
