Fish on the George Foreman Grill
- Don't own a XXL George Foreman Grill(GFG)? Click here to find out why the GFG is the best purchase you'll ever make. Plus you'll find important cleaning and maintenance tips. And be sure to check out our simple health tips!
- Tilapia - I've tried over 25 different types of fish on the George Foreman Grill and this one is probably my favorite. Not fishy at all, great even if you don't like fish. Goes really well with garlic. Cook for about 9-10 minutes. Relatively inexpensive too.
- Cod - I cook Cod a really long time, for about 25 minutes. I do this to completely dry it out and make it crispy. This is the only way I like it, it comes out chewy and fishy when I cook it for less time. I usually cook frozen cod, fresh cod is a bit different. If buying frozen cod, look for the square pieces, the fish shaped triangle pieces come from a different part of the fish and aren't very good. I'll usually cook the cod for 10 minutes and split open the pieces and mush it up as much as possible. Then I'll cook it for another 15 minutes. Really comes out good once it's all dried out, almost like crispy french fries.
- Halibut - Cook around 8 minutes. Tastes similar to chicken. Halibut fillets are better than the steaks.
- Salmon - I've never actually cooked salmon fillets on the GFG although I'd imagine they would have to cook a while, at least 12 minutes due to their oilyness. What I do cook though, is canned salmon. Canned salmon mixed with olive oil is unbelievably good, the 2 different extremely healthy oils mix together marvelously well. Cook for about 9 minutes. High in ESSENTIAL Omega 3 fatty acids.
- Tuna - I've never cooked tuna on the GFG either but I'd certainly try the canned tuna mixed with extra virgin olive oil for 8 or so minutes.
- Flounder/Sole - Flounder and sole are virtually identical although they do have a noticeably different taste. I usually cook them for about 17 minutes, sometimes flipping them after about 12 minutes. It depends on how you like it, I like it a little crispy even though it still is moist when you cook it 17 minutes.
- Smoked Kipper Snacks - Want a healthy bacon substitute? Buy some smoked herring(kipper snacks), you can find em by the canned tuna. Drain the water, take them out of the can and mash them up. Then cook them for about 17-20 minutes. This will absolutely stink up your house if you don't have a fan in your kitchen but once they're cooked for about 17 minutes they taste very similar to bacon. High in ESSENTIAL Omega 3 fatty acids. You can also add some Extra Virgin Olive Oil if desired.
- Red Snapper - Expensive but very tasty and not fishy at all. Similar consistency to talapia, you'll want to cook it around 8-10 minutes.
- Striped Bass - This is a "fishy" fish but a very good one. A bit oily, it's been a long time since I've cooked it but I believe I cooked it for around 12 minutes.
- Chilian Sea Bass - This is a popular fish in restaurants that I will never, ever eat again. 1st time I ate Chilian Sea Bass, I loved it. But then each time I ate it I liked it less and less till the point that the last time I ate it I almost threw up. It is extremely oily(especially on the GF grill), perhaps with some breading it would be more palatable. Anyway, you might like it, even love it(especially the 1st time). But don't be surprised if it turns on you. My aunt loved it the 1st time she had it but the 2nd and only other time she had it she didn't like it nearly as much. If you do cook it on the grill I'd recommend cooking it for a long time(maybe 15 minutes or so) and adding some bread crumbs or something to combat the oilyness. Turbot, by the way, is another fish with the same consistency as Chilian Sea Bass but much less flavor.
- Orange Ruffy - This fish is a little oily and has an odd taste. I can't really recommend it, at least not without some additional spices and flavoring.
- Mahi Mahi - Don't like this one either.

When you cook fish(especially frozen fish) make sure the fish is completely defrosted (meats too) and that you've squeezed all the water out of it. I put the fish in a paper plate and squeeze the plate. If you do this the fish will not only cook come out better, but more importantly you will not damage the grill surface. For whatever reason, if you cook watery fish or something with a lot of liquid like tomatoes the non-stick surface of the grill will become a "stick" surface. However, follow the above instructions and your grill will last a long time.
Different fish takes all different times to cook. I recommend adding Extra Virgin Olive Oil when cooking fish. My recommended fish (based on taste & price) are at the top of this list.
