The Power of Fish and Sea Food

Fish & Sea Food recipes


Picture
Incorporating fish and seafood into your clean-eating plan is a powerful way to boost your health. Rich in essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, fish is known for its heart-healthy benefits, anti-inflammatory properties, and ability to support brain function. Choosing antibiotic-free options ensures that you're consuming the purest, highest-quality protein, free from unwanted chemicals and additives.

Fast & Delish Sautéed Shrimp in Garlic Tomato Sauce
***Makes 3-4 servings 


Ingredients:
  • 2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
  • 3 scallions, finely chopped 
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced thin 
  • 4 Roma tomatoes, chopped 
  • 1/4 cup clam juice
  • 2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice 
  • 14 Colossal Shrimp, shelled & deveined (keep tail on, about 1 pound)
  • Sea salt & fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions: 
​In a large sauté pan over medium heat, add olive oil, scallions, garlic, and salt & pepper to taste.  Cook until scallions are wilted and darkened and until the garlic is tender and slightly golden-brown (about 3-4 minutes).

Add tomatoes and cook (continually stirring) until tomatoes are softened (about 2 minutes).  Add the clam juice and lemon juice, and bring to a light simmer (continually stirring gently. 

Season shrimp with salt & pepper and add to the pan.   Cook on 1 side until the shrimp begins to turn opaque and slightly curl (2 to 3 min.)  Then, flip the shrimp and cook until they turn pink on the other side (1 to 2 more min.)  

***Shrimp cooks very fast, so a good rule of thumb is to remove the pan from the heat as they are almost finished cooking.  Once you remove the pan from the heat, continue tossing, and the heat of the pan will continue to cook them until they’re done. 

Quick & Easy Baked Salmon Fillets 
***Makes 2 servings 

Ingredients:
  • 2 (5 oz.) salmon fillets (ask for skin off on both sides)
  • 1 teaspoon of olive oil plus 1 tablespoon
  • Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Pepper 
  • 7 oz. can chopped tomatoes, drained
  • Optional: ½ cup white wine
  • 1 chopped shallot
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions: 
Preheat the oven to 400°
Brush 1 side of the Salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  In a medium bowl, stir the tomatoes (optional white wine), shallots, 1 Tbs. of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper until mixed. 
Tear 2 large sheets of foil.  Place the salmon fillet, oiled side down, in the middle of the foil. Twist the ends of the foil to form a “pouch” around the salmon.  Spoon the tomato mixture over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and mixture, making sure to cover completely, sealing them into the pouch.  Repeat this with the other salmon fillet and then place it on a baking sheet. 
Bake for about 25 minutes or until Salmon is cooked to your liking.   Serve in foil… it’s fun and very easy to clean up!   ​
