It's tradition among many to skip meat on Fridays during Lent, which often means indulging in fish dishes instead. Even if you don't observe the holiday, you can still make easy seafood recipes for morning, day, and night. Whether you're passing up meat on Fridays or all yearlong, here are some tasty recipes to carry you through the 40 days and beyond.

  • Matzo Brei With Lox: Described by Ruth Reichl as "one of life's perfect foods," matzo brei made with eggs, crackers, and lox is perfect for either breakfast or dinner; try drizzling it with a bit of honey or top it off with a dollop of sour cream.

  • Cod With Asparagus in Parchment: No basting or marinating is required when baking fish en papillote, or in parchment paper with aromatic vegetables, because the method creates a steaming effect that infuses flavors inside the fish. Don't be intimidated by a dish like cod and asparagus en papillote, though - the recipe that calls for basil, spring onion, and soy sauce is easier than you think.

  • Smoked Sandwich With Wasabi Cream Cheese: Welcome a truly unique meal thanks to this smoked salmon sandwich with wasabi cream cheese. The main ingredients? Nutty bread, velvety fish, creamy avocado, and a rich spread.

  • Baked Fried Fish: Don't pan-fry when you can bake-fry.

  • Salmon Cakes: What more can you ask for from tasty salmon cakes prepared with dijon mustard? They're a fast (we're talking 20 minutes cooking time) and healthy dinner option.

  • Hawaiian Ceviche: This coconut-pineapple halibut ceviche made from white fish will take you to the tropics no matter what time of year. How could it not, with its savory mix of pineapple juice, coconut milk, garlic, and fresh salsa?

  • Steamed Whole Fish: Try your hand at cooking a fragrant whole fish with this traditional Chinese steamed fish recipe. Make it with either trout or sole, steam in the oven, and serve with delicious aromatic ginger, scallions, and cilantro.
