MaryLee's Healthy Food and Easy Cooking - Fish, Healtheir Choice

Hello,

Healthy is boring right? Well no not true, healthy can be interesting and meals tasty.

When you hear healthy, do you tend to switch off, don’t want to know? Tired of hearing how we are turning into a fat society; our children are facing a lifetime of health problems because they are not exercising enough and becoming over sized.

There has been so much said about eating healthy foods, cut out fats, and sweets. Eat more fish less red meat for a healthier choice.

Fish yuk, who wants to eat fish! It smells fishy and when cooking it can make the house smell. But that’s only when you poach certain fish (cooking it in a water bath).

Give fish a try you will be surprise. If you are concerned about the strong taste then try some of the milder flavour fish such as Halibut, Cod or Sea Bass. I personally do not like eating around bones so I buy fillets.

When I cook them I like to grill/broil them. I will crush herbs and spices such as coriander seeds, cumin or rosemary with dried chilli peppers, rub them over the fish fillet and then cook them. Gives it a bit of a kick with the chillis.

Another way is take the fish fillet, roll in corn flour, add a little flavouring to the corn flour such as ground ginger, dill, cumin. If you have children then cut into 1 inch strips (fingers) then roll them in the corn flour.

Take a skillet/frying pan lightly coat with oil. Over medium heat cook each side of the fish till lightly brown about 1 ½ - 2 minute each side.

Serve with salad or rice or if you have left over boiled potatoes, then slice them and brown them in the skillet just before you cook the fish.

Fish is a healthier choice; try various types of fish some you will like and some you won’t. But be brave give it a try.
