Seafood Lagniappe
In the next issues, I'm going to feature recipes that are good for you. This time, I'm sharing some heart-healthy seafood dishes.

 
Linguine with Clam Sauce
 
Ingredients:

  • 8 oz. Linguine or Spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 1 tbsp. flour
  • 1 10-oz. can clam juice
  • 1 tbsp. dried parsley
  • 1 tsp. thyme
  • 2 6.5-oz. cans minced clams

Directions:

  • Prepare pasta according to package directions, drain. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add flour and mix. Add clam juice and stir until smooth. Add the parsley, thyme and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Add the clams to the mixture and cook 5 minutes more. Serve over pasta.
Broiled Shrimp

Ingredients:

 
  • 32 medium shrimp, with shells and tails

Marinade:

  • 2 tablespoons sake or lemon juice (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh gingerroot
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 2 to 3 drops fragrant toasted sesame oil or 2 to 3 drops hot chili oil

Shrimp

Directions:
  • Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Add shrimp to the marinade and toss well to coat. Leave the shrimp in the mixture, covered, for up to 12 hours in the refrigerator.
  • About 10 minutes before cooking time, place 8 8-inch bamboo or wooden skewers in water to cover. Prepare grill or preheat broiler.
  • Remove shrimp from the marinade. Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and slowly boil marinade for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, thread 4 shrimp onto each skewer.
  • Grill over hot coals or broil for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, 3 to 4 inches from the coals or broiler.
  • Brush the shrimp with some of the marinade and grill or broil for another minute or so, until the shells look chalky with just a little char. Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold.
Baked Catfish
 

Ingredients:

Catfish

  • Vegetable oil spray
  • 2 pounds catfish fillets (6 pieces)
  • 3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 3 ounces (about 30) cholesterol-free, low saturated fat, low-sodium wheat crackers, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons acceptable margarine, melted
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    Garnish:
  • 6 lemon wedges

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 400° F. Lightly spray a baking dish with vegetable oil spray.
  • Rinse fish and pat dry. Set aside.
  • Combine buttermilk, salt and hot pepper sauce in a small shallow dish.
  • Place cracker crumbs on a plate.
  • Dip fillets first in buttermilk, then in crumbs, taking care to coat evenly.
  • Place fillets in prepared baking dish. Drizzle 1 teaspoon margarine over each fillet. Bake uncovered 15 to 20 minutes, or until fish flakes with fork.
  • Arrange fillets on warmed serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Garnish with lemon wedges.
White Fish Cutlets

Ingredients:

 

  • White fish cutlets - 4 (100-150g each)
  • Fish stock or dry white wine for poaching - 2/3 cup

  • Salt - 1.5 teaspoons
  • Black olives 12 - 14

Directions:

  • Put the fish in a frying pan, and add in the stock or wine. Add in the bay leaf with lemon grind. Let this simmer for about 10 minutes until the fish is cooked.
  • Place the fish in a plate, and strain the stock into the tomato sauce. Reduce this a little, and pour on top of the fish. Garnish with parsley.
