Fish Looking for fish recipes

Picked up a few things on sale recently and need recipes or methods for them.
Imitation Krab. Got maybe 5 pounds. Crab cakes, seafood salad….
Salmon trim. Couple pounds. Need to remove the skin, then something like cakes, or….
Talapia, nice 4 Oz pieces. Just need a simple sauce or marinade.
Swai. Same.
Nice salmon fillet. Don’t know if a common sauce will work for all of them.
Got the 87% hamburger for chili figured out. Actually quite good with S&W Chili Makin’s.
Costco chickens, got it covered.

Thanks for the help.

Can't go wrong with garlic and butter for fish.
Or you could lean Norsky with a dill sauce.

The imitation crab - I've even made a chowder with it. Unfortunately, I hardly ever use recipes to cook, but I'm sure there are plenty for these ideas online.

Dill sauce
Lemon butter
Or even a simple parsley butter sauce is good. Should work for all of the fish.

Salt and pepper for salmon, maybe just a slight coating of bacon grease in the pan if you fry it. Or even bake it. Onion salt vary little.

IMO, you don't need much with salmon, it's just that good!

Neither here nor there.
do you like sushi? If so you could make that sushi back with the salmon that's trending and hard right now. I hear it's really good.

Nice salmon fillet.
POD - that salmon - if its skin on remove it. get a good teriyaki marinade some GRANULATED garlic and a seasoning called "accent". in glass dish with cover, pour a little marinade in - about 4-6 TBSP and lay your fillet in there. get that side all covered and flip it over. season it with the above two items. now pull it back out of the dish and repeat what you did to the first side. them pour some marinade over the top of it - enough to be sure that both sides got covered well. let that sit 24 hrs in the fridge.

on a HOT grill - sear both sides, then turn to medium and be careful not to overcook. add a sweet potato on the side n yer gud ta go

I got tired of lemon and dill on fish. I discovered that just about any spice mix works. I spray with oil and then sprinkle with spices. Our favorite at the moment is Kinder Woodfire Garlic.

Grill, smoke, bake, fry, poach are the methods I mostly use. Made a really good Manhattan style halibut chowder the other day too.

Sauce styles I've used for firm white fish are dill, piccata, Mediterranean, Thai, butter/garlic, and various cream sauces.

Rockfish, cod will get battered sometimes. Halibut I do grilled or sautéed.

Salmon normally gets grilled with light alder smoke, but also baked and poached. I'll sometimes do a honey teriyaki sauce with the salmon, and serve it with a rice bowl and some quick pickled vegetables like carrots.

Also, for the salmon skin, scale it well and fry it crispy. Really good. Also works to crisp it up on the grill.

If you want to do a common sauce, butter/garlic/parsley works on everything.
