Dear February:
You are famous for your romantic ways, but at Dish on Fish, our hearts belong to seafood! This month we are going to talk about our love – of sumptuous, heart-healthy seafood. We can’t think of another protein source that checks all boxes as seafood. It’s the perfect high protein; low-fat, Omega 3-laden, versatile choice. We’ll be talking about our infatuation with seafood all month – starting with the February Meal Plan featuring seafood recipes perfect for two!
From delectable breakfasts and light lunch bites to romantic dinner date meals, these recipes for two provide full flavor and solid nutrition. These creative recipes not only shine in the flavor department but also are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which helps boost heart health and fits in with The American Heart Association’s recommendation to eat at least two servings of fish or seafood per week.
For breakfast, your heart will flip over the savory breakfast frittata that combines shrimp with fresh veggies; and wait until you try this benedict with pan-seared scallops. Both perfect for a slowed-down weekend routine.
We always love to find new ways to snack on seafood. This month we have an “over-21” recipe for vodka oyster shooters. You’ve seen it on cocktail menus so try it at home! Also featured is a traditional tuna melt that will make you feel warm and cozy.
Dinner dates with Seafood Paella, lobster and salmon set the backdrop to plan a few great evenings in this February. The best thing about these dishes? They get five-stars in flavor and nutrition!
If seafood makes your heart beat faster too – grab your BFF, your child or another special someone and dig into our roundup of the best meals for two!
