Last night I swung by the fish market on my way home and picked up some fresh haddock. I am the only one who eats seafood in my family (they don't know what they are missing!) so I usually just order it when we go out to eat. I didn't want to fry it for turning this healthy protein into something unhealthy just felt wrong, and I forgot to purchase the seafood stuffing at the market so that I could bake it the way I usually do.
So instead I decided to make Mock Lobster. It is so easy and so delicious. Here's the recipe, adapted from Taste of Home:
(Note: the rule of thumb for fish is 1/2 pound per person)
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 to 2 pounds cod or haddock
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- Paprika
- Melted butter
- Lemon wedges
Directions
- Cut fillets into 2-in. x 2-in. pieces; place in a large skillet. Cover with water. Add salt and vinegar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Drain.
- Sprinkle with paprika and serve with melted butter and lemon.
I ate 1/2 pound of haddock with 1 Tbs melted butter (in all it's delicious glory) and a salad all for 9 WW points! Very yummy and healthy (well, minus the butter it would have been tip-top healthy, but you gotta have flava!)
Maybe I will try that way. We eat a lot of fish. Kids love fish sticks but besides that since we lived in MD my oldest 2 love all fish and especially crab anything. Otherwise we eat Shrimp at least once a week. It's one of things they all eat. Of course besides the baby who eats nothing.
