Seafood

The secret to making this creamy soup is that you must put a can of coconut milk in your refrigerator over night. When you open the can, the top will have the cream. Scoop it out and keep aside and use the water liquid for another recipe. 

My husband and I are really enjoying lettuce wraps and we truly enjoyed this for lunch while sitting on our deck at the lake!  

This is a great way to use leftover lobster.  Of course all of the lobster for this recipe came from our friends at City Fish!

I just love salmon and you can't get it any better than at City Fish!  I received my new bistro grill pan and I just LOVE it...   After grilling on my stove top I put under the broiler for just a few minutes and the maple syrup caramelized perfectly.  

Give this Paleo recipe a try NOW!

Many restaurants offer a mixed grill in Tuscany.  My husband and I would order 2 meals and share to try more food.  We always loved to experiment with the mix grill and the anchovy sauce adds so much flavor. 

This dish was created to use up some seafood I had in the freezer.  Sometimes while at City Fish I get extra fish.  It's an Italian thing - Just in case!  We never know if last minute friends are coming over for dinner therefore I always have enough.....  You know just in case!  I freeze what we don't cook up and use.

I love (as you can imagine) tomato sauce and decided to make one but with all of the fish I had handy.  I defrosted the fish earlier in the day.  You can use any seafood you have handy or decide to pick up for this dish!  This goes great with your favorite pasta or spaghetti squash.  

Mussels are common for an appetizer or a snack.  My Nana would make a pan of mussels for a late afternoon meal.  Most Italian homes have food going all day and this easy dish is perfect for friends around the table.

This recipe was so fun to make because I had 1 sweet potato on the counter and 1/2 of a red bell pepper.  I love the flavors of the sweet potato in the recipe and we are just loving this fresh haddock from our friends at City Fish!

I made a baby kale salad to serve these Paleo Haddock Fish Cakes!  

Cindy's Tip!  If you are picking up haddock grab a little more and cook it up then save for another meal.  The work is already done and all you have to do is  make the cakes!

Why be traditional during a football game with a meat chili!  Everyone makes one...  Go ahead and make my Paleo Seafood Chili.  It is hearty and full of flavor.

Thank you City Fish for the amazing and fresh seafood!  

If you are adding beans in your diet then go ahead and drain a can of red kidney beans and add to the pot.  Enjoy and go Patriots!

Meuniére is fish lightly coated in flour then sautéed in butter then add lemon juice and parsley before serving.  The butter becomes more of a browned butter and this dish is beautiful and delicious.  I love using sole or flounder.

Head over to City Fish and make this recipe tonight! 

An Everyday to Gourmet dish and a Paleo recipe.

You can use any white fish but the cod goes really well. 

This dish makes an appearance once a week in our house.  My husband loves salmon burgers and I usually serve over a large Greek salad.  When you are at the seafood counter (I just love Telly at City Fish) just ask them to remove the skin for you!  They will gladly do it for you..

I am also adding my recipes for a spicy aioli which is a must have to complete this paleo salmon burger!

As part of my Cook Once Meals All Week series on Better Connecticut this salmon recipe works great with cooked chicken.  If you don’t have cooked salmon then use smoked salmon for this delicious recipe.  If you are making for brunch, lunch or dinner top with an arugula or Mediterranean salad (just include capers).

Enjoy this healthy and Paleo Recipes!

Thank you City Fish for the amazing salmon!

I just love preparing a gourmet looking and tasting dish but it was so easy!

A thank you to City Fish for the salmon steaks.  I just love my Emily Henry baking wear!  Not only is it perfect for this recipe but its beautiful and goes from the oven to the table!  I made the entire recipe in one baking dish!

Salmon is my favorite fish and if you visit my website you will find several recipes using this amazing fish! Salmon with lemon, capers and rosemary is my Italian way to enjoy this amazing fish! I have prepared this Paleo recipe several times using a variety of ingredients and it was delicious every time.

Italians love lemon and capers.  Salmon goes great with these flavors and you can have this on the table in no time at all.  You can cook the salmon in the 1 pound piece of slice for individual servings and the cooking time will be about 5 minutes less.

Talk about Sea bass

Enjoy a restaurant style dinner at home with a Paleo Recipe!

Whenever we go out for dinner and I see "branzino" on the menu I order it for my dinner! This is a typical fish from the Mediterranean sea. This fish goes back to our ancient romans who loved sea bass. Sea bass can grow to about 3 feet long but are generally caught while they are still small. If you find this delicious fish on the menu - give it a try! Especially when it is served table side… Makes the experience a little special.

I like to prepare a whole sea bass for this recipe. You can ask while at your fish market to prepare the sea bass (or any other fish) for you but here are the steps to do this at home!

Steps to prepare a whole fish

• Using scissors trim the fins.
• Next take a sharp knife and run it along the full length of the belly of the fish starting from the lower end. **For grilling you do not need to remove the scales.
• Cut at an angle into the back of the head on both sides, and then one cut on the underside. Remove any innards. You can remove the head or not depending on your presentations or desired preparation.
• Rinse the entire fish using cold water.

You need to give my Sauté Cod over an Italian Sauce a try! I was not sure what to call the sauce but it is amazing. To make this sauce I started taking out ingredients from the refrigerator and pantry! This recipe follows the Paleo diet and is a delicious Italian dinner for any weeknight or entertaining.

I used cod loin because it is thicker and I wanted a nice piece over the sauce on each individual plate.

I hope you love my one-pot meals as much as we do!  They are healthy, made in 30 minutes and perfect for everyday to gourmet!  Who knew a paleo recipes would be so amazing and kind of sexy!

Of course there is only place to get the best fish in Connecticut!  Head over to City Fish today...  

I was at my favorite fish market yesterday and Telly made sure he cut the perfect piece of Sea Bass for me! I created this Sauté Sea Bass with Pasta,  Artichokes,  Lemon and Herbs as I just knew the paring would be perfect.

This is a great Italian Paleo Recipe and Gluten Free Recipe for your family and your guests to enjoy! To really show presentation. Prepare the sauce in a beautiful pan and place the cooked fish on top and serve on the table. Serve family style!

If you are in the Hartford area there is only one seafood store you need to visit. All of the fish in this recipe are courtesy of my friends at City Fish, Wethersfield, CT.

Meal preparation is easy if you are organized.  I love to make a few meals for the week and have them ready to pull out of the freezer in the morning and just warm to enjoy for dinner.

This recipe is perfect.  I just lightly brown both sides of the fish and slightly cook my greens.  I store in the refrigerator to enjoy within a day or 2 them just warm up in the pan for an easy dinner.  

It's really fun to be healthy!

Enjoy xo
