Don't do this to your fish!

Okay, so we all know that eating fish has ton's of health benefits, like lowering our risk for cardiovascular disease, reducing some cancers and improving our brain function but did you know that if you fry your fish you can pretty much say good bye to all those health benefits!  The frying process can completely destroy the EPA and DHA omega 3 fatty acids which most people are not getting enough of in their diet.  So if want the most out of your fish dish try lightly searing, broiling, baking or sushi raw and skip the battered and high temperature fry up.

Try sprinkling some powdered fennel seed or cardamon spice on your fish and broil it long enough to cook through but not dry up.  I've always said that when I can smell the fishing cooking, it's done. Though I can't stand fish that's too dry and you may enjoy it a little more cooked, so do check it with a fork.

  1. The picture is grilled salmon with an orange segment salad and french dressing on the bottom. Doesn't it look absolutely delicious!
