Just mentioning sardines will get a cringed-face reaction. I’m here to hopefully change that response. These little fish come with a long list of reasons why you should be eating them. They are shelf-stable, inexpensive, sustainable, packed with protein, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a good source of calcium and they can help you get…

Weeknight Salmon with a Honey Ginger Glaze
My go-to weeknight fast food meal is always salmon. I stockpile individually frozen wild-caught salmon filets in my freezer for a quick and easy, after a long day of work, meal.

Zesty Shrimp and Noodle Salad
I made this for a recent family gathering and it was a hit. It’s versatile because you can serve it warm or make it ahead and serve it cold. For the noodles, choose your favorite spaghetti, thinner pasta is better. I used gluten-free brown rice pasta (Jovial brand) but any would work well. The ginger,…

It’s a one-pot dish, super easy…
Weeknight Pistachio Crusted Salmon
Consider making a nutrition pledge of eating at least 8 ounces of seafood (fish and shellfish) per week. The Mediterranean diet recommends 15 ounces per week. I try to cook seafood at least twice a week, making more than I need so it can be enjoyed for lunch the next day. I promise you will…
Spicy Shrimp Cakes with Creamy Yogurt Dressing
Seafood-forward recipes were my promise for 2018 so here’s another one you don’t want to miss.

Keep it in your freezer so it’s…

Here’s another recipe for your 2018 fish-forward meals. It’s a winner on all fronts. Healthy, easy, fast, rich with Mediterranean flavors and very pretty on the plate.

Salmon Cakes with Creamy Ginger-Sesame Dressing
With the recent storm here in the northeast, many of us are sorting through our pantries for sustenance. If you find a can of salmon, give this recipe a try (but you might have to wait until your power comes back on). Canned salmon is an easy swap for tuna fish and it’s a deliciously…
