7 Delicious and Fresh New Fish Recipes to Try ...

If you’re a fish fan like I am, you are going to love these fresh, new fish recipes to try! Fish is so satisfying, filling, and it builds lean muscles, burns fat and is very low in calories, but high in protein and nutrients. Yes, there are many people who avoid fish for mercury, and while I understand the worry, as long as you choose wild fish over farmed, and are careful to buy low mercury types of fish, then fish can truly be a wonderful food to include in your diet. If you are bored with your normal fish recipes, then try some of these dishes, which are full of flavor and even healthy too!

Easy Baked Fish Fillets

Easy Baked Fish Fillets Fish is one of those foods that you don’t need to get too fussy with to make it taste great.

Bake these one night when you’re super hungry but short on time and creativity. You won’t be disappointed!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds grouper or other white fish fillets
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup panko or fresh breadcrumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, melted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

**Directions:
**Preheat oven to 425°.

Place fish in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine lime juice, mayonnaise, onion powder, and pepper in a small bowl, and spread over fish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs; drizzle with butter. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Sprinkle with parsley.

Notes: Haddock or cod would make good substitutes for the grouper. Adjust the baking time depending on the thickness of the fish.

15 Minute Salmon Cakes with Tartar Sauce - Gluten, Sugar and Dairy-Free

15 Minute Salmon Cakes with Tartar Sauce - Gluten, Sugar and Dairy-Free Maybe you’re just really craving some salmon cakes or crab cakes for their cake-like, filling bready texture. Fish cakes are full of flavor, yet don’t have to be filled with fatty ingredients like mayo, or include gluten-filled breadcrumbs. Check out this recipe by Healthful Pursuit, which includes heart healthy salmon as the all-star fish in this recipe. Crab or tuna could also be substituted if you want!

Ingredients:
12 ounces pink salmon, canned and drained or fully cooked fresh
1 cup dry gluten-free breadcrumbs
2 large organic eggs
1/2 red bell pepper [yield: 1/3 cup] *see note
2 green onions
1/4 cup fresh parsley
2 tbsp fresh dill
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp coconut oil

Directions:
In the bowl of your food processor, add eggs and whip on low for 1 minute. Add red pepper, green onion, parsley, dill, and lemon juice. Pulse for a couple of seconds to chop the pepper and breakup the herbs.

Add salmon and breadcrumbs, pulsing quickly. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more breadcrumbs. Form the mixture into 2 inch patties.

Heat oil in a medium sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Once complete, place on a kitchen towel-lined plate.

Serve with mixed greens and fresh tartar sauce, recipe below.

Note: The cakes were a bit wet, but stayed together well once they were in the pan. To eliminate some of this ‘wetness’ you could try cutting the pepper separately, wrapping it up in a tea towel and ringing out some of the liquid. I bet this would do wonders!

Protein Packed Tuna Salad Pitas

Protein Packed Tuna Salad Pitas I love tuna! It is easy, cheap, and incredibly satiating. It was always a favorite dish of mine as a child, and I’ll admit, I still love the smell of my mom’s traditional mayo-laden tuna salad. I, however, don’t want a high-calorie tuna salad, so that’s when this perfect protein-packed variety comes in handy! This recipe is full of flavor, but very low in calories. It does feature a little olive oil for flavor, but feel free to omit it if you want, as I usually don’t use any oil in my recipes. Mustard makes a great substitute, or you can use Greek yogurt for a mayo-like texture.

Ingredients:
2 whole-wheat pitas
1 can tuna canned in water without salt
Lemon juice from 2 wedges
2 tsps olive oil
1/2 small onion diced (purple or red onion adds color)
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 tbsp chopped parsley
Salt and pepper

Directions:
Open can of tuna, drain it, and place in a bowl.

Stir in lemon juice and olive oil.

Add bell pepper, onion, and parsley.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Pop into the pita and eat!
