My Seafood Strategy for the Week

1. Mix Different Types of Seafood

Instead of eating the same fish repeatedly, rotate between:

  • Salmon
  • Tuna
  • Shrimp
  • Halibut

Each brings its own texture and flavor to the menu.

2. Pair Seafood with Simple Sides

Serve seafood with:

  • Kale Salad
  • Fresh vegetables
  • Rice
  • Roasted potatoes
  • Whole grains

Simple sides let the seafood shine.

3. Prep Breakfasts Ahead

Prepare:

  • High-Protein Quiche
  • Breakfast Quesadillas
  • Blueberry Protein Donuts

This leaves more time to enjoy fresh seafood dinners later in the day.

Seafood Cooking Tips

For the best results:

  • Pat seafood dry before cooking.
  • Avoid overcooking fish.
  • Use fresh herbs and citrus for bright flavor.
  • Prepare seafood close to serving time whenever possible.
  • Store leftovers promptly in the refrigerator.
