Great Ways to Prepare Fresh Fish

There are many great ways to prepare fish in a low fat and healthy way. Methods to avoid are deep frying with a batter coating, pan frying with a thick and crunchy coating that will soak up oil, and baking with lots of butter or a thick layer of full-fat mayonnaise. All of these methods will contribute a large amount of unnecessary calories to the overall dish.

Here are some examples of healthy ways to prepare fish.

  • Grilling - Griling fish with a light brush of olive or flavored oil or a marinade to help prevent sticking will provide a little flavor to the fish.
  • Baking - Bake fatty fish by themselves and lean fish with a little liquid in the pan to prevent them from drying out.
  • Broiling - Place the fish in a non-stick broiler pan a few inches under the broiling element. Use smaller cuts of fish or place the fish lower in the oven to prevent it from drying out.
  • Poaching - Use a poacher pan to easily remove the cooked fish from the pot when finished poaching. A light court-bouillon is all that is needed for poaching.
  • Sauteeing - Saute fish fillets with a small amount of oil in a hot pan to get a nicely browned fillet without a lot of excess fat.
