Fish Recipes

I love fish and enjoy all kinds of fish recipes such as baked cod, swai fish and tilapia recipes. Halibut is one of my favorite firm white fish. It has a mild and delicate taste, with a perfect texture for homemade fish recipes. I went to a seafood market and got some fresh halibut fillets because they are so delicious. I made two recipes from the fish: Ginger Soy Fish and this easy Garlic Butter Fish. Garlic and butter are two magic ingredients that go well with all kinds of proteins, including fish recipes.
