I don't know if you use cheese with fish, but an easy recipe is to salt and pepper the fish and lay a slice of cheese over each fillet. Baked till cheese melts and fish is done.

This sounds strange but is very good: You can fry chopped onion with slightly crushed cornflakes. Season with salt and pepper, place in the center of the fillets and roll up each fillet. Mix ketchup and mayo together and spread on the fish. Bake.

Flounder en papillote: for two portions, julienne a leek, a carrot and a zucchini. Take two pieces of parchment paper, fold in half and cut a heart shape out of them. Open the heart and arrange half the vegetables in a pile against the fold in the middle of the paper. Sprinkle with s&p, Lay the fish over the vegetables, also sprinkle with salt. Make a sauce of 1 T. dijon mustard (or regular brown mustard with some white wine), 1/2 tsp. honey, a spritz of lemon juice and pepper and pour over the fish. Fold the second half of the parchment over the fish and fold over the open edges a few times, beginning at the top of the heart and twisting the last bit at the bottom. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes. To serve, slide a package onto each plate and snip it open.

I can also give you a good recipe for cooked fish that's not fried, if you want.

I take a frozen block, coat it with mayonnaise, sprinkle on the seasoning du jour (read: whatever I feel like using at the moment), and nuke on 100% for about 20 minutes. (That's usually overdone for most ppl but I can never tell when fish is ready. I'd rather overdo than underdo and risk food poisoning.)
