Description

Discover the joy of preparing high protein seafood dishes that are nutritious, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • Fresh Salmon
  • Shrimp
  • Scallops
  • Mahi-Mahi
  • Crab
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or cilantro)
  • Citrus (lemons, limes, or oranges)
  • Aromatics (garlic, onion, or shallots)
  • Vegetables (asparagus, bell peppers, or zucchini)
  • Olive oil or butter


Instructions

  1. Marinate the seafood with olive oil, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of citrus for a short period to meld flavors.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
  3. Carefully place the seafood in the skillet, avoiding overcrowding.
  4. Cook salmon fillets skin-side down for about 6 minutes, flipping gently after the skin crisps.
  5. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.

Notes

Serve seafood warm, immediately after cooking, for the best texture and flavor. Use fresh herbs and vibrant sauces for garnishing.
