Lomi-lomi salmon is a traditional dish originating from Hawaii. The dish is prepared with salmon and tomatoes as the main ingredients. It was originally introduced to Hawaii by early Western sailors. The salmon is rubbed with salt, then combined with diced tomatoes, minced red onion, and green onions.


The word lomi means to press, massage, or rub, referring to the method of massaging the salted salmon between the fingers. Lomi-lomi salmon is traditionally served as an appetizer or a side dish at Hawaiian parties (luaus), usually alongside kalua pig, poke, and poi.

A gastronomic delight of French Creole cuisine, trout amandine is a simple dish that pairs pan-fried trout with a delicious, buttery, and nutty sauce consisting of brown butter (beurre noisette), almonds, lemon juice, and parsley.


Considered a variation on trout meunière, which in turn is itself a variation on the French classic sole meunière, trout amandine also makes use of meunière (meaning miller’s wife in French), a method of cooking that calls for coating food in flour before sautéing it in brown butter with lemon juice and herbs.

Pecan-crusted fish is a traditional dish of the American South. It's sometimes made with a combination of mayonnaise, crushed pecans, honey, and white fish fillets. The fish is dipped into the mixture of mayonnaise and honey, and it's then coated with crushed pecans.


Finally, the dish is baked until the fish becomes flaky. It's important not to overcook the fish because it will become very dry. The dish can also be prepared with a standard mix of butter, Creole seasoning, and garlic for the fish coating. Pecan-crusted fish is often served with a variety of side dishes and garnishes such as baked potatoes, lemon wedges, tartar sauce, yellow rice, or fresh salad.

Thin fried catfish is a traditional dish originating from New Orleans. The dish consists of catfish fillets that are sliced very thinly, breaded, then fried until golden brown. There should be a good ratio of fish to flour. Ingredients such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne can be added to the dry seasoning mix in order to elevate the flavors.


Lemon zest is also sometimes added to the mix. The fillets are dipped in eggwash and the dry seasoning mix, then deep-fried until they become golden. Thin fried catfish is typically served with tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or lemon wedges on the side.
