went to ShopRite at midnight last week after being sick of the weight. bought tuna steak, shark steak, salmon steak, and wild salmon :)
just cooking it on grill with lemon added. it is actually quite good. but old habits are hard to beak and I still cheat a little. I bought salmon burgers which were awful :)
any ideas on what to add to the fish such as seasonings?
Are you doing low-carb, low-fat, or low-calorie?
I found this recipe recently (we do low-carb, to lose weight) and though I haven’t tried it yet, it looks great:

Last week, we found some plain store-brand frozen flounder; my husband just put it in a Pyrex tray, with some Olive Oil, and Old Bay (we use McCormick’s) and it was wonderful.

With salmon... I go more natural with olive oil and fresh squeezed lemons. I even add very thin lemon slices on top while baking/grilling. However, for white flesh fish like flounder, halibut, etc.. I use olive oil and Old Bay. I guess some people like to flavor fish with tartar sauce etc.. but I prefer a more natural taste.
============================================
This easy recipe makes a main dish salmon salad---perfect for summer.
Poached Salmon Salad / Raspberry Yogurt Sauce
Poach salmon in lemon water---heat water to boiling. Turn off heat. Add salmon; cover; steep till done. Method makes perfect salmon everytime.
RASPBERRY SAUCE Mix into container raspberry-flavored yogurt tb ea chp garlic, Dijon, rice wine vinegar, evo, ¼ c minced scallions.
SERVE Plate 2 c micro greens dressed w/ balsamic vinaigrette; top w/ poached salmon, then dollops of Raspberry Yogurt Sauce. Garnish w/ fresh berries, heirloom tomatoes, chp scallions.
lemon juice, fresh dill weed and butter.....salt and pepper
Also Mrs. Dash.
A fruit sauce is also good on fish. Mango salsa is wonderful. As for tuna, wasabi, sesame or teriyaki.
Dill is great with salmon.
I also love plain yellow mustard with salmon patties.
To add flavor but not a lot of calories I like seasoned rice vinegar. I even use as a salad dressing. Comes in a few flavors but have to get seasoned.
Actually using vinegar or pickled food before you eat carbs help with blood sugar levels.
Ditch the nasty fish, eat more chicken. ;) Never been a seafood fan, reminds me too much of bait.
I’m not a big fish fan.. but my dad grills it with olive oil, salt and red wine vinegar. I am amazed at how good it is.
Mix some dill, fresh is great, but dried will work too, chop it up and mix it with dijon mustard (or plain old Guldens or French’s if that’s all you have) Smear it on the salmon, then broil or grill. Squeeze a bit of lemon on when the salmon is done and chow-down.
Tuna steak - course ground pepper on all sides, sear, then make a lime-ginger-wasbabi mix to dip it in. Tunas best very rare!
Shark steak - cover with cajun seasoning, put a dry, cast iron pan on a grill and get it real hot, then blacken the shark by throwing it on the cast iron pan. It will smoke like crazy, so do it on the grill or get ready for the fire department to show up. :-) Flip and blacken the second side. Great with a compound lemon-garlic butter added at the end if you are allowing fat in your diet.
(I traded bread for fat, and haven’t looked back. Lost over 30 pounds and have kept it off for over 3 years now. If I could give up wine or the occasional cocktail, I could know off the last 15)
For the shark, I'd look to Spice Exchange Tequila Ginger Lime or Dark Rum Coconut Pineapple marinades. If you're into de islands, Mon, Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning is the authentic rub.
All these products have intense, high quality flavors. A little bit goes a long way!
