The 19+ Best Healthy Seafood Recipes

The 19+ Best Healthy Seafood Recipes are delicious, easy to make, and full of flavor. Fish and seafood are so good for you and with this amazing list of recipes, you’ll never be bored!

How often do you eat seafood? I could eat it 4+ times a week but I know that everything is about moderation. So, I try to narrow it down to a couple of times a week. I love salmon and shrimp and tuna and all the other fish. When they are reliably sourced and quality, seafood tastes absolutely amazing. Don't you agree? I love eating fish when I'm on the coasts too. It tastes so much better when it's freshly caught too. When I went to Paris a year and a half ago, I took cooking lessons with a French chef. We went to the French market where they had shipped in scallops that were caught that morning in Normandy. I was in foodie heaven! I honestly have never had scallops as good as they were that night.

Now, I sometimes get into the habit of eating the same recipes. Don’t get me wrong: I’m adventurous and try new recipes all of the time. However, sometimes, I just want the same meal until I’m sick of it. There were some weeks where I would have shrimp tacos 3 or 4 times in a week when I was working a corporate job. Seriously, they are so good and easy to make. After a long day at work, it would be great to come home and be able to whip up a deliciously healthy (or healthy-ish) recipe for dinner and move along with the few hours of free time that I had.

Healthy seafood recipes don’t have to be boring. In fact, there are SO MANY recipes out there to spice up your go-to recipes. Plus, they are so good for you. This list is really the ultimate list of healthy seafood recipes. You are going to want to save this list for later. Trust me, it will be your go-to list for all things healthy seafood!
