I have a staple dish of pan fried salmon, flaked and stirred into a mixture penne, pesto and pine nuts.

I have bought cod and smoked haddock for a change. Is pan frying the tastiest way to cook these or should I roast the fish in the oven?

Or........should I cook the fish a different way?

Any suggestions, please?

Bought Danny. Sacla pesto. Pine nuts are so expensive. Will be toasting a handful later but you need lots for homemade pesto.
I do smoked haddock, cod, salmon, all in the oven under foil. Knob of butter splash of white wine(not sweet) and a little parsley or dill. You need to check after 10 mins on gas 5 Tilly. Sharp knife to feel texture, baste with juices and put back in minus foil. A lot depends on the thickness of the fish.(I am not talking of how clever it was)
Sacla is very authentic but I prefer to make my own which I sometimes vary and use coriander instead of basil with a de-seeded green chilli blended in.
Go to your local Morrisons restaurant & get a mini fish & chips & peas & tea/coffee lunch for £4.90, I'm not sure you could buy the ingredients that cheap & cook at home.
You need to try Halibut in the oven with onions passata and cheese.
^^^ Wait until teatime, Ron, and you can get the full-sized fish & chips meal, including any hot drink, for a fiver (or two for £9).

I am not getting dressed up to go to Morrisons for tea. It's too cold.

(and the last time I ate in Morrisons, a breakfast, it was undercooked and slimy)

Togo, I love Halibut. I might try that.
Skin side up Tilly and crisp it under the grill or kitchen torch.

It'll have to be the grill, Togo. I only have an Ever Ready torch for the outdoors. I don't have one for the kitchen. We have electricity here.
Nice one Chris.( Buenchico)
Little hand held butane torch Till. Handy for all sorts. Crème Brulee?

All done and dusted. A bit too salty for my liking but I ate it all. The pesto was overcome by the saltiness of the smoked haddock. Back to salmon next time.
Tomorrow's chicken stir fry will be better.

Have you got a link, Sibs? ☺
Thank you Tilly. No but I will do a search tomorrow evening after visiting mother xx
Ps have taken your advice xx
Without reading all the earlier answers (so I'm sorry if I repeat) I very much like cooking salmon in foil, with whatever seasonings/salsa takes my fancy at the time.
I made a macaroni cheese once using smoked haddock. It was delish.
