Healthy Seafood Recipes

Seafood is such a good way to eat healthier and adding salmon to your menu will get you those important omegas. Fish recipes can be so flavorful especially when you make these Swirls seafood recipes!

tilapia, Salmon and Shrimp

Smothered Tilapia Provençale is an easy recipe for a quick dinner. Just combine  the flavors of Provence, artichokes, olives, capers, tomatoes, and garlic with white wine and olive oil and pour over tilapia and bake! This easy seafood dinner is ready in just minutes! Also delicious with shrimp or salmon.

When you’re in the mood for seafood, may I recommend Chipotle Honey Glazed Salmon With Pistachio Butter,? Salmon fillets seasoned with just the right amount of spice and glazed over with honey and a touch of orange are topped with pistachio butter that melts down over the fillets after grilling. Also delicious when you bake the salmon in the oven!

If shellfish is what you’re craving then be sure to add Garlic & Herb Shrimp , with it’s light buttery sauce flavored with garlic and white wine and studded with oven roasted tomatoes, to the menu!
