Eating fish is an excellent way to incorporate lean protein and healthy fats into your diet. However, some fish recipes can be high in calories and saturated fat due to added ingredients like cream sauces or deep-frying methods. Fortunately, there are many ways to make fish recipes healthier without sacrificing flavor.

• Consider using cooking methods that require little or no added fat, such as broiling, grilling, or baking. For a simple yet delicious baked fish recipe, try seasoning a fillet with salt, pepper, and lemon juice and baking it in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. You can also experiment with different herbs and spices to add flavor without adding calories.
  
• Swap out creamy dressings or sauces for more nutritious options. Instead of tartar sauce, try serving grilled fish with a fresh salsa made from diced tomatoes, peppers, onions, and cilantro. Or, make a simple marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic, which can be used to coat the fish before cooking.
  
• Incorporate fish into other healthy recipes, such as salads or stir-fries. Try adding cooked and flaked salmon to a spinach salad for a nutritious and filling meal. Alternatively, use shrimp in a vegetable stir-fry for a low-calorie yet high-protein dish.
  

By making these simple swaps and substitutions, you can enjoy the health benefits of fish while still enjoying delicious meals.
