Ingredients: 
  • 4 skin-on trout fillets
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 tsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Preparation: 
  1. Place whole-wheat flour in a shallow dish. Sprinkle trout with pepper and ½ teaspoon of the salt. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high.

Remove skillet from heat.
  2. Whisk together stock and all-purpose flour in a small bowl. Return skillet to medium-high. Add wine to skillet, and cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Stir in stock mixture, and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in capers, lemon juice, butter, parsley, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Serve fillets with sauce.

Ginger Cod with Veggies

Fresh Cod with Leek and Couscous
For 4, ready in 40 minutes! 262 calories per serving 
Ingredients: 
  • 4 cod fillets
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 tbsp lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fermented black bean paste
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 12 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 6 ounces sliced shiitake mushroom caps
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • Cilantro sprigs
Preparation: 
  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Whisk together oil, soy sauce, black bean paste, ginger, honey, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Fold 1 (24×16-inch) parchment paper sheet in half, short side to short side. Open sheet, and place 1 cod fillet near fold in center of 1 half. Place ¾ cup snap peas, 1 cup mushrooms, and ¼ cup bell pepper on top of cod. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon ginger sauce. Fold other half of parchment over cod mixture; crimp all edges together with overlapping small folds to seal tightly. (Packet will be a half-moon shape.) Place on a baking sheet. Make three more packets, reserving remaining ginger sauce for serving.
  3. Bake packets until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes, carefully cutting tops open to allow steam to escape and to check doneness of fish. If needed, return fish to oven. Top with cilantro sprigs, and serve with remaining ginger sauce.

Seared Scallops with Chimichurri

pan fried Canadian scallops
For 4, ready in 20 minutes! 200 calories per serving 
Ingredients: 
  • 500 gram scallops
  • 1⁄2 cup water with salt
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1  cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2  cloves garlic, minced
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Black pepper to taste
Preparation: 
  1. Combine the water and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt in a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir so the salt thoroughly dissolves, then mix in the vinegar, parsley, garlic, and pepper flakes.
  2. Slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, whisking to incorporate. You can use the chimichurri now, but it’s best to let the flavors marry for 20 minutes or more; it will keep covered in the fridge for 3 days.
  3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Thoroughly dry the scallops with paper towels, then season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. When the oil is hot, add the scallops and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, without disturbing them, until a deep brown crust has developed. Flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer, until firm but yielding to the touch. Serve drizzled with the chimichurri.

Healthy Clam Pasta

  • 4 strips bacon, cut into thin strips
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Generous pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 12 oz whole wheat linguine

  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add the clams and wine and continue to cook over medium heat until most of the wine has evaporated and the clams have all opened—this should take about 10 minutes. (If the clams aren’t opening, top the pan with a lid until they do. Discard any that never open.)
  6. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until tender yet still al dente.
  7. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup or so of the cooking water, and add the cooked linguine directly to the pan with the clams.
  8. Stir in the parsley and cook for 30 seconds, adding a bit of pasta water if the noodles look dry. Divide the clams and pasta among 4 warm bowls and serve immediately.
