Pescatarian Recipes that Make Seafood the Star of Every Meal

Happy Sunday, seafoodies!

Here at Dish on Fish, we always make seafood the star of every meal. And today is no exception because we are featuring pescatarian recipes. (On the same note, we are working on a special project that we will unveil soon! Hint: it will give our Pescatarian followers something to cheer about.) In the meantime, enjoy these delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes that are perfect if you follow a pescatarian diet. While some of these pescatarian recipes may contain eggs or dairy (i.e., lacto-ovo-pescatarian), they do not contain other animal-based proteins.

So, whether you’re a self-described pescatarian or just a real seafood lover, you will love all of these recipes! A few feature super easy prep (like the Wild Alaska Pollock en Papillote with Chimichurri Sauce), some highlight bold flavors (like the Roast Salmon and Broccoli Traybake) and, let’s not forget, deliciously fun (like the Guiltless Tempura Shrimp)! Plus they all provide the health benefits you find in all of our favorite recipes, helping you meet the Dietary Guidelines recommendation to eat 2-3 weekly servings of seafood.

Ready to create some of the most elevated and star-worthy pescatarian meals? Below we’ve rounded up six of our favorite seafood-centered recipes, with each featuring a different species.

Wild Alaska Pollock en Papillote with Chimichurri Sauce

En papillote is French for “in parchment” and is an excellent way to prepare Wild Alaska Pollock. Cooking fish en papillote helps lock in both flavor and nutrients. Simply wrap this mild white fish in foil for an easy weeknight dinner!
