Coconut shrimp is one of my favorite appetizers. After having some fantastic coconut shrimp at Bonefish Grill, it was time to try my hand at making coconut shrimp. I, however, am not going to try deep frying things at home, so I looked into making a baked version. Now I have to confess, in myRead more
This salmon is fantastic. The spice rub is flavorful, but not overwhelming, and it’s paired with this amazing avocado salsa that’s super fresh and creamy. Fish is always a great weeknight option because it cooks up so quickly. So while this is easy enough for dinner on a weeknight, it’s also fancy enough to impressRead more
Here’s another dish I tried for my nutrition class project of trying 5 new, whole foods…sardines! Don’t run away!! These were actually really good! Sardines definitely have a bad reputation, but they’re a nutritional powerhouse and are a good sustainable fish. Sardines are high in vitamin B12 (especially important for people who don’t eat meat),Read more
These salmon cakes were fantastic. The name comes from the addition of onion, celery and bell peppers, referred to as the “holy trinity” in Cajun/Creole cooking because it’s such a fundamental part of recipes. I love adding extra veggies, it adds great flavor and texture. While these totally taste like beach food (from the OldRead more
I’m so glad these salmon cakes turned out well! While I’m a fan of canned tuna, I have to confess that other canned fishes kind of creep me out. But since I trust Prevention RD to have a good recipe, and have been wanting to try to eat more fish, I knew I wanted toRead more
Last week was Mom and Sister’s birthdays. And while I didn’t get to celebrate in person with Sister (yet) this year, Mom requested a salmon dinner on the night of big day. As you may have guessed from my surprisingly few seafood recipes, seafood is something I haven’t quite mastered yet. And this was anRead more
White fish can be kind of boring, but this just means it’s a great blank slate for more exciting flavors. I used tilapia for this, but you can use whatever white fish looks good at the store. Fish is a great low calorie protein source and provides micronutrients and omega-3s. I’d recommend serving this withRead more
Fish still kind of intimidates me, so in an attempt to conquer my fears I made this Pesto-Crusted Tilapia. Unfortunately, I didn’t season the fish before dipping it in the pesto, so learn from my errors and make sure you salt and pepper (and maybe even add a little lemon juice) to the fish first.Read more
This is the perfect dish to serve when a regular salad sounds boring, but you still crave something light, fresh and nutritious. If you’re like me fish sometimes feels fussy and hard, but in reality fish cooks up really quickly and can be prepared very simply to let the flavor really shine on its own.Read more
Sister moved to NYC with her boyfriend, Chris, and near their apartment is this adorable restaurant that has THE BEST tuna melt. It’s amazing. Since I don’t get up to NYC often enough (and because Sister mocks me for wanting to only eat at one restaurant the whole time I’m there), I had to tryRead more
