Question:
What are some healthy and delicious ways to prepare fish and seafood?
Answer:
Great question, because deep-frying or drenching your catch in rich sauces could cancel out some of its potential health benefits.

The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least twice a week to help reduce the risk for heart disease. Fish and seafood are packed with protein and low in saturated fat. Fatty fish like salmon, sardines, herring, tuna and lake trout are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, too.

Keep fish and seafood healthy and delicious with these ideas:
*
Brush fish lightly with olive oil, then bake, broil or grill until just flaky. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.

*
Gently poach our waterfront BISTRO™ Pacific Salmon or Colossal Scallops in low-sodium vegetable broth and serve with a fresh pineapple salsa.
Stretch your budget by stirring up a tomato-y Italian fish stew called "cioppino." Toss in a variety of fish, shrimp, clams, mussels—or whatever's on sale in our seafood department for this week. Or, try this yummy recipe for Seafood Cioppino.

*
Stock up on budget-friendly canned tuna when it's on sale to make dishes like these:

*
Tuna casserole made with whole-wheat noodles, reduced-fat "cream" soup and extra veggies.

*
Crunchy "confetti" tuna-salad sandwiches—mix tuna with light mayo, slivered almonds, and minced red peppers, celery, carrots and green onions. Spread on whole-grain bread.

*
A filling main-dish salad of tuna tossed with canned white beans, olive oil and lemon juice. Serve over mixed salad greens.
