Crab Newburg with Popovers

Popovers
3 tablespoons margarine or butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
2 cups crab or imitation crab, chopped if in stick form
2 tablespoons dry sherry or apple juice

Prepare Popovers. Combine flour, salt, mustard and pepper. Heat margarine in 3-quart saucepan over medium heat until melted. Stir in flour mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Gradually stir in milk. Return to heat; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in crab and apple juice. Heat until hot. Serve over split popovers. Makes 6 servings.

Popovers:

2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt

Heat oven to 450°. Grease 6-cup popover pan or six 6-ounce custard cups generously. Beat eggs slightly in medium bowl. Beat in remaining ingredients just until smooth (do not overbeat). Fill cups about one-half full. Bake 20 minutes. Decrease oven temperature to 350°. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until deep golden brown. Immediately remove from cups and serve hot.

Note: this dish is also good served over rice or a thick pasta like rotini. However, the popovers really make this dish...well...pop! (Please forgive the pun. )

[Kim2005]

3 TBSP honey
3 TBSP soy sauce
3 TBSP balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, (I used minced, but I imagine you could press also)
1 tsp ginger(I used dried in a jar, but the recipe said that you could use fresh grated ginger root as well)
2 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP vegetable oil
3-4 Mahi fillets

Combine honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, ginger and olive oil in a glass dish. Place fillets in marinade skin side down, season fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and regrigerate 20 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in large skillet, pan fry fillets 5-6 minutes on each side, only turning once. When done(flakes easily, etc.), remove to a serving dish and keep warm. Pour remaining marinade into skillet and cook until reduced to a glaze. Pour over fillets.

(This was very good - I think next time just for fat gram sake, I would just bake it in the marinade rather than frying it...I don't think it would affect the taste very much)

Enjoy!


Comment by Nell: I think it would be good to grill the fish and then make the glaze in a pan, too.

Tilapia recipes

Hey! Okay here goes...Tilapia is my favorite fish to cook with, I just love it!! It's a
white fish, similar to Orange roughy or even grouper, but not as "meaty" as roughy,
and does not taste very "fishy". It really takes on any flavor that you put with it. I
cook it Italian, Oriental, Mexican, and it all tastes great!! A couple of my favorite
ways(and these would work on almost any fish, but particularly a white fish)...

Mexican Tilapia bake

Fish filets, however many you need
Salsa, to your taste
Monterrey Jack cheese, or a Mexican blend
Tortilla chips, crushed
(I don't have amounts for any of this, just enough to your eye:-)

Either put down foil, or grease(I use Pam spray) a pan. Lay the fish on the pan, then
pour salsa over the fish. Sprinkle the chips over that, then the cheese over the
chips. Bake at 350 or 375 until flaky and opaque.

Italian Tilapia

Fish filets
Tomato sauce(you can use plain or spaghetti sauce works too) - probably about 1/2
cup??
Either an Italian seasoning blend or a bunch of spices...Thyme, Oregano, Basil,
Marjoram, Whatever looks good to you! - To taste
Garlic powder - To taste
Salt and Pepper - To taste
Olive oil - probably 1/4 - 1/2 cup

Again, foil or grease a pan. Place the fish filets on the pan. In a mixing bowl, mix the
oil, tomato sauce, and spices together to make a paste of sorts. Depending on how
thick, you will either pour or spread on fish. Bake until done.

For my oriental tilapia - I just poured Soy sauce and balsamic vinegar over the fish,
added some ginger and garlic and baked it. It was good!!

[Kim2005]

Don't be scared off by the anchovies...they had a great flavor but if you didn't know they were there...you wouldn't taste them.
I haven't made this yet...I am sure I will prefer the puttanesca sauce from Joy of Cooking...but this one is "light."

1/4 c. chopped greek olives
1 T, capers
2 cloves garlic...chopped fine
1 t. lemon juice
3-4 anchovies
1/8 t. crushed red pepper
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 T. olive oil
4 (6-ounce tuna steaks
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1. compine first 7 ingredients
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper. Add fish to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until disired dregree of doneness. Remove fishe from pan; keep warm.
3. Add tomatoe mixture to pan; cook until thoroughly heated (about 2 minutes). Stir in parsley. Pour sauce over fish.

EllieFunt
My hubby breads it & fries it.



monkeymommy
use corn meal then fry it in oil floats when its done



FabTXMomma
Do they sell this there?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zatarain's Fish Fri Mix

Yummy




Mrs C
We usually
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pass it a mix of egg, milk, mustard and salt and pepper before putting it in the cornmeal(which we season with Toni's Chacheries creole seasons)


EllieFunt
we use flour with salt & pepper for the girls
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and a spicy mix for dh. It's called Shore Lunch, cajun style. They have a mild mix as well. Don't know if the stores sell it, he comes home with it from the Sportsman shows.

My girls don't like a lot of breading.




morgNmacy
We use part flour, part cornmeal to bread it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mmmmmmm - love to eat catfish! Dh says, "A fish with whiskers is the only kind to eat!"
~ Jodi ~




Linderlou
I bread it and bake it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll have to do this from memory.

For 1 lb of catfish:

1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dill weed
1/8 tsp pepper
Milk
Melted butter

Preheat oven to 450°. Mix dry ingredients. Dip catfish in milk then coat in cornmeal mixture. Place on baking sheet sprayed with Pam. Drizzle with melted butter. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until fish is opaque when flaked with fork.




monkeymommy
serve with hushpuppies and cole slaw




Trish03
beer batter!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
you can use water or pop- but the beer gives it the extra punch. I use the beer in place of water in a "just add water" pancake mix. Add enough to make like a thick pancake batter and run the fish through it and drop in the hot oil (make sure the fish fillets are dry first). MMmmm... yum!




FabTXMomma
were you asking about the zatarain's mix?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
when you asked "have you ever tried it?"

i've never tried that particular one. i've used a lot of zatarain's mixes and they are always very good but not too spicy. i'm not sure how they would taste to a kid's palate though.

i would probably try one of the corn meal recipes ppl have listed above. they sound yummy and are probably pretty close to the mix, but then you could adjust the spices to your family's tastes. i'm not sure about beer-battering them; can you do that to catfish? i've only ever had it fried up in a cornmeal batter. that's the way they do it round here.



Leighfluver
I love catfish
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dipped in egg and then asiago cheese shredded teh drizzled with olive oil and baked or grilled on foil.

Linderlou:

Cook tilapia or other lean white fish like normal. Mix together one can golden mushroom soup and 1/4 cup water. Pour over fish during last 5 minutes or so of cooking.



Kim2005:
What I remember is you can broil it with a little butter and lemon pepper.



Christi:
I posted one where I just mix some dijon mustard and mayo together and brush it over the top of the fish and bake it til it flakes with a fork. It's pretty good!

The recipe I posted was Broiled Tilapia Parmesan from allrecipes.

1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp chopped parsley

1 lb uncooked shrimp peeled and deviened
salt and pepper
3 cups shredded mozzerella

In bowl season shrimp with salt and pepper. Add shrimp to pan and saute for about two mins. Preheat oven to 450. Roll out dough and cut into four equal peices (rectangles). One each piece sprinkle with mozzerella and top with shrimp mixture. Top with a lil more cheese. Close up calzone and bake 12 to 15 mins or until golden brown.

I always have some shrimp mixture left over so I make some angel hair and toss together. YUMM

Regular Stromboli.

Whatever meat and cheese you like. I only go one slice of cheese per rectangle or otherwise it is tooo cheesy. Instead of folding the dough you roll it from corner to corner. Brush with EVOO and top with garlic powder, crushed red pepper, italian seasoning whatever you like. Bake at 350 for 12 to 14 mins.

Dipping Sauce
Add one Tbsp EVOO, 3 cloves garlic chopped, 1 tsp crushed red pepper to a pot and cook two mins over med heat. Add 1 can crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper and parsley. Stir sauce and bring to a bubble and simmer for five mins. Take off heat and serve in bowl.

Here is a GREAT recipe for make-your-own coconut shrimp Jodi!

raw tiger shrimp
1 egg
Old Bay Seasoning
1c. flour
milk
coconut

add ingredients to a bowl. Dredge shrimp in some other flour first. Then dip into batter. Roll in coconut and deep fry for about 3-4 min.

Dip in Hawaiian sauce from Pampered Chef.

Basically I just took my Fry Daddy recipe for fish batter, added some Old Bay Seasoning to it and after I dipped my shrimp in the batter, rolled it in coconut. I like it BETTER than Red Lobster and its MUUUUCH cheaper!

You can do this too:
1 cup beer, or as needed
1 (7 ounce) container shake and pour buttermilk pancake mix
Old Bay Seasoning
Old Bay is really the secret. Make sure your batter is thick enough to cling.

You know, I hope you can try this recipe. Its a great knock-off of the RL recipe...let me know if you try it.

8 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
Cooking spray
4 teaspoons sesame seeds
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions

Preparation
Combine the first 8 ingredients in a ziploc bag & then freeze. Freeze salmon separately. Defrost overnight. Combine salmon & marinade about 1/2 hour before cooking. Discard marinade.
Preheat broiler or grill.

Place fillets on broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 11 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Sprinkle each fillet with 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon onions. Also great on the grill.

Here's our fav - dh asks for it almost once a week!

Baked Parmesan Tilapia

1/4 cup butter, softened
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp celery salt
2 pounds tilapia fillets

Preheat your oven’s broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.

In a small bowl, mix together the parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.

Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from heat for 2-3 minutes. Flip the filllets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to over cook the fish.

Makes 6-8 servings.


When I do this one, I grill the tilapia in little homemade foil pans and then broil for 2-3 minutes just to brown the cheese topping.

[Flautista]

prepared this dish using tilapia. My DH loves it, and my DKs tolerate it pretty well.

Creamy Baked Fish Fillets (for tilapia, cod, haddock, sole, whiting, flounder)

4 teaspoons butter
2 lbs fish fillets (sole, haddock, cod, whiting, tilapia or flounder)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs

Grease a casserole with 1 teaspoon butter and arrange the fish in the baking dish. Blend the salt, hot sauce, paprika and Parmesan cheese with the sour cream and spread the cream over the fish. Top with the breadcrumbs and dot with the remaining three teaspoons of butter.

Bake, uncovered, at 350°F for about 30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Hi Kim! That is my recipe. Thought you'd like to know. The username must've been left off during the transfer. Thanks! :)

[Wishing4]

I was asked about my tilapia

I crunched up some Ritz (maybe 10 for 3 fillets) and then added some parmesan (maybe 1/4 cup). I dipped the fish in egg first, but I think it would also just work to moisten them with water. Then cover it in the crumbs and cheese and bake it at 350 for around 15 min (until flakey).

I also like this:

1/4 cup butter (or vegtable spread)
2 cloved garlic, crushed and minced
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tbsp minced fresh tarragon (or 1 tsp dried and crumbled)

melt butter in sauce pan over med-low heat. Add garlic for a few seconds, remove from heat. Add lemon juice, tarragon (and some pepper if you wish)

Brush half over fish before cooking and can reheat the rest and spoon over fish after it has cooked.

[Trusting in Him]

Ingredients

* 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
* Sliced Mushrooms - as many as you want
* 2 pounds asparagus, snap off woody ends
* 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
* 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
* 5 cloves garlic, minced or garlic from a jar
* 1 1/2 pound raw shrimp, (26-30 per pound), peeled and deveined
* 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
* 1 teaspoon cornstarch
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley



Preparation

1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, asparagus, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to soften, about 6 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl; cover to keep warm or put in oven set to warm.

2. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk broth and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and add to the pan along with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat. Stir in lemon juice and parsley.


I served shrimp over spaghetti squash and served asparagus and mushrooms on the side. To cook squash (not included in nutrition info): cut a spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and place in a baking dish cut side down. Add about 1/4 cup of water and cover with plastic wrap. Cook in microwave about 10 minutes. Then scoop out insides with a fork. It will look like spaghetti. It's very good with shrimp and sauce served over it. You can also add a little extra lemon juice to it. :licklips: Dh and all three of my boys liked it and best of all it's all healthy! :dance2:

This served two adults and three children.
