Grilling fish recipes should be a staple in everyone's cookbook. The health benefits of eating fish are endless. Fish is low in bad fat, high in good fat like- omega 3 fatty acids, and high in protein.
Leading health experts are advising for people to eat one or two serves weekly. There is evidence eating regular servings of fish can reduce the risk and/or lessen the symptoms of diseases like:
Childhood asthma Prostate cancer Cardiovascular disease Depression Dementia Arthritis Autoimmune diseases Obesity
Of course, these are just a few of the diseases. However, the key to a good fish diet is to avoid fish with high mercury content. Instead, look for the high omega 3 fatty acid fish , with low mercury content. Here are a few high omega 3 fatty acid fish:
Atlantic Salmon Lake Trout Mackerel Herring Albacore Tuna
Fad diets come and go; often leaving the dieter with more weight than what they started with. Research has proven that a healthy diet should be a lifestyle change, not a temporary restraint from certain foods. Drinking only water and eating only broccoli may make a person loose weight, but how long is it sustainable? Adding grilling fish recipes to a diet, for a couple of days a week, is a life style change that is sustainable.
Not only is fish good for you, but the low cooking time and ease in preparation, make it a fast and easy meal for working families.
Grilled fish isn't as boring as it may seem. Nearly every species of fish will have a different taste and texture. For example, Salmon and Trout taste nothing alike. Likewise, grilled fish is very versatile. It can be served with pretty much any sauce: pesto, lemon, béchamel, butter, tomato, garlic, etc..
These are a few idea for ways to grill your fish.
Wrap the fish in aluminum foil and place on the grill. Place the fish directly over grill heat. Soak a brown paper bag in olive oil, and tightly seal fish in the bag. Place bricks over hot coals, place fish on bricks, place another brick on top of the fish.
