Fish And Seafood Recipes Are Easy, Delicious And Just What The Doctor Ordered! Being of Norwegian descent, I'm probably biased towards fish and seafood recipes. Norwegians must have a love of fish ingrained in their genes. I could, and sometimes do, eat fish almost every day. So just consider me the ambassador of fish and seafood consumption. Let me convince you of the many virtues of fish and seafood recipes as a regular part of your healthy diet. Fish, particularly cold water, fatty fish, such as salmon, halibut and sea bass are loaded with the Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids which contribute to good health. This is good news for dieters, arthritis and diabetic patients. Even if you don't have any serious health conditions, including these fish in your diet is a good move. Fish and other seafood are high in protein, low in calories and don't contain 'bad' fats. These gems from the ocean and rivers are just plain good for everyone, barring allergies. This is heart healthy, cholesterol free food. Fish and seafood recipes are also quick and easy to prepare. If you're short on time (who isn't?), you can have a nutritious, tasty meal ready in less than half an hour. For example, a one inch thick piece of fish can be ready to eat in five minutes, when cooked in the microwave. In fact, the microwave is the best cooking method for most fish and seafood recipes. While the microwave is least suited to cooking beef, it's a champ with fish. Here's a superbly quick and easy recipe for shrimp scampi. Cook a batch of rice or egg noodles, according to your preference. If your shrimp is frozen, place in a bowl of hot water to defrost while the rice or noodles is cooking. In a medium bowl, melt butter. Add a couple of tablespoons of fresh, minced garlic and a few tablespoons of fresh, chopped cilantro. Drain the shrimp and combine with the butter, garlic and cilantro. Ladle portions over the rice. You're ready to eat! Norwegian fish and seafood recipes are generally simply prepared. A filet of salmon can be simply nuked and dressed with lemon juice. While hollandaise sauce may be, arguably, a bit rich, it doesn't take much to make that salmon a heavenly treat. If you don't want to make it too heavy on the calories, just dress the fish with a large, fresh sprig of tarragon, and serve. The Norwegian palate finds satisfaction in combination fish and seafood recipes. One example is a fish and seafood chowder. Make a roux with butter and flour, using a couple of tablespoons of each. Whisk in a quantity of milk. Add some catfish nuggets, clams, shrimp and Krab(TM), along with some cooked, diced potatoes, a small can of corn, a small onion and some mushrooms for a hearty, healthy meal that's ready in about a half hour. Herring fillets in sour cream make a tasty appetizer, as do sardines in olive oil, seasoned with lemon pepper. OK, I'll admit it. I eat these for lunch! However, in my defense, I don't have any heart, weight or cholesterol problems. Make room in your diet for fish and seafood recipes. It's one of the healthiest dietary changes you can make!
