    Fish Bake with Mediterranean Vegetables

    Fish is among the healthiest foods on the planet. It is loaded with important nutrients, such as protein and vitamin D. Fish is also the world’s best source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are incredibly important for your body and brain.

    Here are 11 health benefits of eating fish, that are supported by research:

    1. Fish is High in Important Nutrients That Most People Don’t Get Enough of.

    Bottom Line: Fish is high in many important nutrients, including high-quality protein, iodine and various vitamins and minerals. Fatty types of fish are also high in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D.

    2. Fish May Lower Your Risk of Heart Attacks and Strokes.

    Bottom Line: Eating at least one serving of fish per week has been linked to reduced risk of heart attacks and strokes, two of the world’s biggest killers

    3. Fish Contains Nutrients That Are Crucial During Development.

    Bottom Line: Fish is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which is essential for development of the brain and eyes. It is recommended that expecting and nursing mothers make sure to eat enough omega-3s... but please see the cautionary note re Pregnant Women on original article.

    4. Fish May Increase Grey Matter in the Brain and Protect it From Age-Related Deterioration.

    Bottom Line: Fish consumption is linked to reduced decline in brain function in old age. People who eat fish regularly also have more grey matter in the brain centers that control memory and emotion.

    5. Fish May Help Prevent and Treat Depression, Making You a Happier Person.

    Bottom Line: Omega-3 fatty acids can be beneficial against depression, both on their own and when taken with antidepressant medications.

    6. Fish is The Only Good Dietary Source of Vitamin D.

    Bottom Line: Fatty fish is an excellent source of vitamin D, an important nutrient that over 40% of people may be deficient in.

    7. Fish Consumption is Linked to Reduced Risk of Autoimmune Diseases, Including Type 1 Diabetes.

    Bottom Line: Eating fish has been linked to reduced risk of type 1 diabetes and several other autoimmune diseases.

    8. Fish May Help Prevent Asthma in Children.

    Bottom Line: Some studies show that children who eat more fish have a lower risk of developing asthma.

    9. Fish May Protect Your Vision in Old Age.

    Bottom Line: People who eat more fish have a much lower risk of developing macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision impairment and blindness.

    10. Fish May Improve Sleep Quality.

    Bottom Line: There is preliminary evidence that eating fatty fish like salmon can lead to improved sleep.

    11. Fish is Delicious and Easy to Prepare.

    This last one is not a health benefit, but still very important. It is the fact that fish is delicious and easy to prepare. For this reason, it should be relatively easy to incorporate it into the diet. Eating fish 1-2 times per week is considered sufficient to reap the benefits. If possible, choose wild-caught fish over farmed. Wild fish tends to have more omega-3's and is less likely to be contaminated with harmful pollutants. That being said, even if eating farmed fish, the benefits still far outweigh the risks. All types of fish are good for you.

    Interesting Nutrition Facts About Fish and Some Recipe Ideas ! Parmesan-and-Herb-Fish-2-620x350

    Parmesan herb-crusted fish

    With it being Friday tomorrow, and Friday may be a fish day for many ... how about this!

    This simple parmesan herb-crusted fish dish takes six ingredients and transforms it into a nutritious main dish. Serve this lean fish with some sauteed vegetables like pan-seared brussels sprouts, or some nice crunchy fine green beans, and you’ve got a healthy, evening meal.

    Parmesan Herb-Crusted Fish

    Ingredients
    8 ounces tilapia filets (or white fish of your choice)
    1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
    1/2 tablespoon butter
    1/2 teaspoon oregano
    1/2 teaspoon thyme
    1/2 teaspoon rosemary

    Directions

    Lay fish skin side down on a baking sheet.

    In a small bowl, toss together the parmesan, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.

    In a second small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave (about 10 seconds).

    Brush butter on the upright side of the fish. Sprinkle evenly with the parmesan and herb mixture.

    Turn your grill / broiler to high heat. Put fish on a grill / broiler rack about 4-5 inches under the flame / heat. Let grill / broil for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and fish has reached an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F. If you don’t have a thermometer, flake the fish with a fork to see if it is done.

    Sounds good!

    I last ate around 11 this morning and it's past eight now, and I went shopping AND went for a walk around a nature reserve, so I have some RICE boiling away. Not too much mind. I also have some almonds gently toasting. When they're done I'll add some olive oil and fry the rice and add loads of smoked mackerel. I will eat it with a buttered oatcake and the mandatory glass of red wine, and I would have had watercress if I hadn't forgotten to buy it.

    DISCLAIMER: I am limited to around 10g carbs for breakfast but can handle around 50 - 80g by evening, PROVIDED I don't do it too often. This is one of those days.

    Trout en papillote

    Interesting Nutrition Facts About Fish and Some Recipe Ideas ! Recipe-image-legacy-id--8678_10

    En papillote means cooking in parchment. This simple super-healthy dish both looks, and tastes great

    Ingredients

    2 large carrots, cut into batons
    3 celery sticks, cut into batons
    1 tbsp olive oil
    ½ tsp sugar
    6 tbsp white wine vinegar
    4 x 175g trout fillets
    basil leaves
    juice 1 lemon

    Method

    Cut four large sheets of baking parchment, about 35cm square. Divide the vegetables between them and top each with a trout fillet. Scatter a few basil leaves and a little lemon juice over each, then season the fish with a little salt and pepper. Fold the paper in half and double fold all round to seal in the fish, a bit like a pasty.

    Put the parcels on two baking sheets and bake for 15-20 mins (depending on the thickness of the fish). Serve in their paper with ... your choice of vegetables!

    Nowt so fancy for me, I had a herring with a giant hard roe, and a big hunk of grilled salmon, both with toasted almonds and a buttered oatcake. Also since I heard cod was off the endangered species list I fried a can of cod's roe (unsmoked) in olive oil, another childhood memory including the can with the tear strip and winding key soldered to the top.

    1 bunch fresh dill, roughly torn
    1 star anise
    10 coriander seeds
    4 lemon slices and finely grated zest to serve

    Method:
    1.Trim the vegetables, then cut into 2mm thick slices, cutting the onion and leek straight down (strip a few layers off the leek first), the carrot(s) at an angle and the fennel length-ways.
    2.Lay the vegetables in a shallow casserole or wide frying pan. Top with the fish fillets, skin-side up, leaving space between each fillet.
    3.Pour in the wine, then season with lots of sea salt, the dill and the spices. Pour in 250ml water and put a lid of baking paper, cut to size, on top.
    4.Put the pan over a medium heat and bring to the boil, then remove from the heat immediately and leave to stand for 10 minutes.
    5.Divide the vegetables among 4 plates, top with the trout fillets, skin-side down, then spoon over some of the juices and dill sprigs from the pan. Add a slice of lemon and some lemon zest to each plate, then serve with homemade salad cream.

    Tips:
    If you can’t get hold of brown trout, use rainbow trout instead.
    The broth is great, so if you have any left over, keep it for soups or fish pies. When cool, keep it in a sterilised container for up to a week in the fridge, or freeze for 3 months.
    A dry, light Italian white is spot on for this, both in and with the trout, so chill a gavi.

    For a no-fuss fish dish, try roasted cod with easy watercress sauce and roasted cherry tomatoes

    Ingredients:
    Serves Six
    Just 3g carb per serving

    6 Icelandic cod fillets (about 175g/6oz each), skin on
    25g butter, softened
    2 tbsp olive oil
    300g cherry tomatoes, a mix of red and yellow if you can get them  

    For the sauce:
    2  shallots, finely chopped
    150ml dry white wine
    half a 200g tub crème fraîche
    bunch of watercress, tough stalks removed, roughly chopped
    juice of half a lemon
    100ml whipping cream
    parsley or chervil sprigs, to garnish

    Method:
    1. Smear the skin of the cod with the butter and season with sea salt. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan. When very hot add the cod, skin side down, and fry, without moving the fish, until the skin is crisp and golden. Invert on to a shallow ovenproof dish, ready to finish it off in the oven.

    2. Put the cherry tomatoes in a separate shallow ovenproof dish and drizzle with another 1 tbsp oil.

    3. To make the sauce, cook the shallots and wine in a small pan for about 2-3 minutes until the wine has almost gone. Tip into a food processor with the crème fraîche and watercress, season with salt and pepper and blitz. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste, return to the pan and set aside. Lightly whip the cream until it just holds its shape. (At this stage the cod, sauce and cream can be kept in the fridge, lightly covered with cling film, for up to 4 hours.)

    4. About 20 minutes before you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to fan 170C : conventional 190C : gas mark 5. Roast the cod and tomatoes for 12-15 minutes until just cooked. Meanwhile, gently reheat the sauce, remove from the heat and fold in the cream. Taste and add more seasoning and lemon juice if necessary.

    Set the cod on warm dinner plates with the cherry tomatoes and spoonfuls of watercress sauce. Garnish with sprigs of parsley or chervil and serve with your choice of vegetables ...

    Sardines a Super Food - Try them in a Greek Sardine Salad

    Interesting Nutrition Facts About Fish and Some Recipe Ideas ! Sardines

    Interesting Nutrition Facts About Fish and Some Recipe Ideas ! Sardines%2Bchart

    Sardines are rich in numerous nutrients that have been found to support cardiovascular health. They are one of the most concentrated sources of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which have been found to lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels; one serving (3.25 ounce can) of sardines actually contains over 50% of the daily value for these important nutrients. Sardines are an excellent source of vitamin B12, second only to calf's liver. Vitamin B12 promotes cardiovascular well-being since it is intricately tied to keeping levels of homocysteine in balance; homocysteine can damage artery walls, with elevated levels being a risk factor for atherosclerosis. A true super food that not only contains great nutrients is usually reasonably priced too ...
