I really want to help you on this one, but the best website I know about Portuguese recipes is in Portuguese.
If you find it very difficult, I will be more than happy to help you translating anything and giving you advice regarding our ‘cuisine’.
I can tell you in advance that usually with fish, potatoes are boiling, another option is to serve the fish with mash potato, but in this case the fish should be grilled or roasted.
A very popular recipe is: tuna steak
Ingredients:
3 cloves of chopped garlic, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro or mint, (divided use), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 4 large tuna steaks, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 lemon (juice from), 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for sauteeing)
Preparation:
Blend together the garlic, half the cilantro or mint, salt, and pepper; rub mixture on both sides of tuna steaks. Place in 9×9 baking dish.
Combine wine, lemon juice, the remaining cilantro, and oil and pour over tuna; cover and marinate for 24 hours.
In a skillet, saute tuna in olive oil for about 6 minutes per side and serve.
You can put on top of the tuna steaks what we call ‘cebolada’
Ingredients:
4 or 5 big onions, 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper, 2 big ripen tomatoes, 4 cl of olive oil, 1 dl of water, 1 small glass of white wine, 2 garlic cloves, 1 laurel leave, salt
Preparation:
Wash the onions, sliced them. Wash the peppers, remove the seeds and sliced them. Slice the tomatoes (do not remove the seeds). In a pot add first the onion and then the remaining ingredients.
Add olive oil, water, wine, laurel and garlic. Cover the pot and let it cook.
Boiled potatoes with garlic
Ingredients:
2 kg of potatoes, garlic, salt, butter
Preparation:
Slice the potatoes in half and boil them in salted water, together with 3 garlic cloves with skin for each kg of potatoes. Add a little bit of butter to the water and do not let the potatoes over cook.

Hi!
)
I’m portuguese and I live in Lisbon (Portugal).
If your in Laws are from St. Maria St. Miguel, they came from Azores (Islands) and they have very special recipes there, like the tuna, but there is also the cozido.
I made a search and I leave you with a couple of links (in english) were you can find tasty recipes to delight your in Laws (beware! in Laws from the Azores islands can be very demanding. People from the islands have lots of attitude LOL But also can be wonderful loving caring people).
Keep the links for the future and print the recipes you think you’d like the most because sometimes sites erase their content.
Please pay attention: I’ve seen on the internet several recipes from portuguese cooking who have nothing to see with portuguese cooking (they are african cooking). Portuguese don’t spicy their food too much except on shrimp.
