Whether you’re eating more fish for health or environmental reason, these 6 amazing healthy fish recipes are absolutely delish!
SWAP Meat for Seafood
Now more than ever, food choices matter. People want healthy, environmentally friendly foods without sacrificing flavor. Substituting the traditional protein in your favorite dishes with seafood is one deliciously smart way to satisfy these demands.
Seafood offers numerous health benefits. In fact, because seafood is high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and essential vitamins and minerals, but low in saturated fat and calories, several health organizations recommend two servings per week.
When it comes to the environment, seafood offers an advantage as well – it’s the most environmentally friendly of all the animal proteins. In a comparison of environmental costs, wild-capture fisheries have a miniscule cost compared to foods such as beef, chicken, pork and dairy.
Changing up traditional meals to incorporate the goodness of seafood is easier than you may think. Just pick a non-seafood protein dish that you regularly enjoy, and replace the protein with one of Alaska’s many species of seafood. For example, replace veal in veal parmesan with delicious Alaska cod or the chicken in chicken Marsala with flavorful Alaska salmon.

I’ve heard of the tip to switch meat for seafood before, but I’m not a huge fan of fish so I’ve never really considered it. Seeing how these were prepared has really made me question that attitude though. These meals look absolutely stunning, and now I really want to try to make the switch. Thanks for sharing!
