Looking for fish dish recommendations that don’t have a strong fish smell! Does anyone have healthy recipes for fish that are mild in aroma? I tried grilling mackerel (saba shioyaki), but my wife found the smell too strong. Any tips would be appreciated!
Any recommendations on fish dishes without fish smell?

Absolutely! Here are a few fish dishes that are known for being mild in flavor and smell:
-
Baked Lemon Herb Cod: Cod is a mild fish that doesn’t have a strong smell. Simply season it with lemon juice, garlic, and fresh herbs like parsley or dill. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes until it’s flaky.
-
Fish Tacos with Citrus Slaw: Use tilapia or snapper for a light and fresh taco. Marinate the fish with lime juice, garlic, and spices, then sauté or grill it. Serve in corn tortillas with a slaw made from cabbage, lime juice, and cilantro.
-
Coconut Curry Fish: Use a mild white fish like halibut in a coconut curry sauce. The spices and coconut milk can help mask any fishy odor. Simmer the fish in the sauce and serve it over rice.
-
Pesto Crusted Fish: Spread a thin layer of basil pesto on a white fish fillet (like tilapia or cod) and bake it. The herbs in the pesto help to neutralize the fish smell.
-
Sesame Crusted Salmon: Coat salmon fillets with sesame seeds and pan-sear them. The nutty flavor of the sesame can help reduce the fishy smell.
-
Fish Soup with Vegetables: A light broth with fish and fresh vegetables can be very fragrant in a pleasant way without the overwhelming smell of fish. Use lemon and herbs to enhance the flavor.
To further reduce fish smells while cooking, you could try soaking the fish in milk for 30 minutes before cooking or adding lemon slices during the cooking process. These techniques can help mellow out the fish’s aroma. Enjoy your cooking!
