My friend Carlene Steenecamp posted this photo over the weekend of how amazing and healthy her fish looks after cooking. My mouth was watering just by looking at the photo, so I had to ask how she gets it like this and still stays within a healthy lifestyle. Why should we fear using good fats when we cook? Instead of munching on a few almonds for good fats that in the end leave you wanting for more and never satisfied, why not replace this good fat to cook with so ALL our meals taste great? I have always feared the cooking oil, esp. when dieting because of extra fat and calories, but now after making my fish like this yesterday and trying it I don't think I can ever go back! Normally I put all of my fish approx. 8-10 pieces in a crock pot with 2cups low sodium vegetable broth, 6 cups water and tons of Mrs. Dash seasonings and cook for 4 hours, but it's tender and flaky which is great for adding to salads, rice, etc. When I eat fish plain I want texture and taste! Try cooking your fish next time using oil, seasoning and this method and I promise you won't snub, need to add condiments or want it any other way! Here is what Carlene suggests:
Ok, here it is. :) yes, I allocate my fats for fish cooking. I use a tbsp of coconut oil (best for high heat, but olive oil also works well) for a pan that fits 5 pieces. Once oil is melted I sprinkle a decent layer of Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning and garlic salt in the pan. After it sizzles, I add the FROZEN fish (beware of hot popping oil) and cover with lid. Let cook about 5 min, sprinkle clean side with seasoning and flip fish. Cook another 3-5 min or until you hear the fish pop. As soon as you hear that pop take all fish off the burner. If cooking more than 5 pieces of fish, add another tbsp of cooking oil and start all over.
Enjoy! Super easy to make, Not as messy as it sounds and really GOOD for you!
