Let's share them. I'm not a fan of anything in flour batter because I don't eat grains but I have several ways I cook fish. Here are a few of my favorites:

Salmon - minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and butter in a small pot on medium heat until it starts to simmer. Place the salmon on a baking dish, wrap the tray in tin foil first. This makes it easy to remove the salmon and eliminates the headache of cleaning that dish. Black pepper and salt to preference on the fish, then evenly and very generously distribute the sauce all over it. Chop up some fresh rosemary and sprinkle it over the fish. I like a lot of it. Bake in the oven at 350 and keep checking for it to be done. This is one of my favorite ways I've ever eaten any kind of fish.

Trout - Picatta sauce. Olive oil, butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh parsley chopped finely, and capers. Heat all of that up in a pan until it begins to simmer then place the trout in. I cook mine whole rather than fillet them. Make sure you have a lid for the pan. Cover and let cook 15-20 minutes, flipping the trout over a few times each. Eat the meat right off the bone with a fork. Pour the picatta sauce into a bowl and dip every forkful of trout in the sauce. It's delicious.

White bass, LM bass - Similar to the salmon recipe except rather than use lemon juice I place thin slices of lemon across the fillets. I still make the butter, olive oil, and garlic sauce and pour it over the fish. Then the rosemary minced up, then thin slices of lemon to cover the fish. Bake in the oven.

Also good and much quicker for white bass and LM bass - Heat up some olive oil in a pan. Coat the fillets with chipotle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook it in the pan, flipping it a few times. It's spicy!! It's quick and good.

I'm curious to know some of your favorites for crappie. I've never been a crappie fishermen, I catch them from time to time on accident. I know they're delicious and plan to get into that this spring. Also walleye recipes. I've never caught one nor eaten one but I hear it's the best tasting fish in our waters so I'd love to get after some this year.
