Assorted dumplings
Fish is also a perfect ingredient for filling empanadas and empanadillas like these with whiting and vegetables. If you want to save a few calories, remember that empanadillas can be baked just like the empanada. It is not necessary to fry them (and thus they do not suck as much oil …).

Hake flans
Hake flans
The puddings can also be salty and, as in these steamed hake puddings, a good stratagem to hide the fish with results that are as showy as they are tasty. Keep in mind that seafood and white fish are especially good for making puddings.

There are three reasons why we love this dish. First of all, because it has an irresistible and trendy look that allows you to easily camouflage the fish. Second, because as it has smoked salmon, it fits even for those who go from raw fish. And third (and no less important), because it is ultra-easy to do. And if not, check it out for yourself …

Fish croquettes
Fish croquettes
Croquettes are not only one of the infallible techniques of "save food" (which is nothing other than taking advantage of leftovers), but also a lifelong trick to camouflage any type of food that does not attract you excessively (in this case fish). Substitute the chicken or ham in the classic recipe for hake or cod, for example, and voila. And if they don't turn out well, we'll tell you how to make the same croquettes so they don't break.

Breaded fish
Breaded fish
Another classic that cannot be missed if what you want is to camouflage the fish is to make it breaded or battered, a formula that enchants the little ones at home (and the not so little ones). The trick so that it is not so caloric and does not take on so much fat, is to bread it with rolled oats instead of breadcrumbs, and instead of frying it, do it in the oven, one of the ways to cook lightly and tasty.
Salmon Cake
Salmon Cake
Another trick to strain the fish to the children is to hide it in the form of a cake like this one with fresh salmon and green beans. In addition, it is so nutritious that it fits super well as a single dish or for the tupperware.

Tuna sandwich
Tuna sandwich
When we prepare the sandwich or the sandwich, it rarely occurs to us that we can also make it with tuna (or sardines) instead of sausage. An equally nutritious and much healthier alternative to processed meats. We have made ours with tuna and yogurt and beet sauce. Simply delicious.

It is recommended to eat this food between 3 and 4 times a week, but it is often difficult to comply because it does not like it, because of the thorns, because of the price … However, with the proposals for easy fish recipes that you have seen and the tricks that you have then, there will be no more excuses. Here you have everything you need to know how to cook it.
Between 30 and 60 g of oily fish covers the daily needs of omega 3.
In carpaccio
Apart from being marinated with herbs and spices, the beauty of this fish dish is that the tuna, salmon, tucha … are cut into very thin slices. If it's a loin, it will be easier to cut it if you wrap it in film first and leave it in the freezer for about two hours.
Smoked, the fast option
The most consumed is salmon, but there are also cod, tuna, trout, eel … Smoked, they provide almost the same nutrients as fresh. You can add them to salads, toasts with fresh cheese and tomato, vegetable sandwiches … Of course, do not abuse because they have a lot of salt.
In cake, ready in advance
Prepare it before and you will have the food resolved when you return from the pool or the beach. You just have to mix the cooked and shredded fish with prawns, beaten egg, cream, tomato sauce, and curdle it in a mold in the oven in a double boiler. You can make it cheaper if you add bread crumbs. The flavor of the fish is hidden with this preparation, and more so if you serve it with a light mayonnaise or a yogurt, a yogurt mayonnaise.
Individual flans
Another foolproof camouflage technique is in the form of flan. Not even the most averse to fish will be able to resist. You can use any kind, but steamed hake or sole fillets are ideal because they taste mild. They are made more or less the same as the cake and the taste of the fish is "camouflaged" when mixed with vegetables, tomato sauce … You can also add prawn or prawn tails. Serve them cold. And if you make more quantity, they keep 2-3 days in the fridge.
With soup or warm creams
Depending on the time, they go very well. You can prepare them with all kinds of fish, such as desalted cod with potatoes. Or also make a vegetable cream (asparagus, zucchini …) and add fish taquitos. Asparagus, for example, combines wonderfully with salmon.
Assorted dumplings
Do not limit yourself to the typical tuna, you can use any fish, such as shredded sardines or mackerel in oil. If you make a large patty, you can fill it with more veggies, like roasted peppers and onions, and even a hard-boiled egg. It is a way of making it cheaper because you mix the fish with other cheaper ingredients.
In hamburger
Another idea to incorporate fish is to make fish burgers. The trick is to mix it with egg, a little skim milk, and poached onion or leek. This way they will be well linked and it will be much cheaper for you.
Donuts and croquettes
Croquettes and fritters, like the classic cod, are a classic of the techniques to take advantage of the leftovers and mask the fish, and also make the most of it. If you have leftover baked fish or a little paella, for example, you can take advantage of them to make delicious croquettes.
Skewers and other appetizing presentations
Sometimes it is only necessary to present a dish in an attractive way so that we lower our guard and agree to try that food that, from the start, pulls us back. Tuna or salmon skewers, for example, tend to be more appealing than seeing a slice of these fish on the plate with the spine in the middle.
Sandwiches and sandwiches
There is life beyond the sausage. Add salmon, tuna, sardines, or mackerel to your sandwiches. Even those in the can are considered very healthy. And so you reduce the consumption of processed meats, which are not too recommended and can be very caloric.
Did you know…
Whole pieces are cheaper
When it comes to fish, remember that large pieces always come out cheaper than smaller portions and keep better.
If you are not going to cook it right away, you can cut it into portions and freeze it.
