The Value of Healthy Fats You have probably heard (and heard, and heard again) by now about the importance of Omega-3 fatty acids in a healthy diet. Fish happens to be an excellent source of Omega-3s. Unfortunately, many children (as well as some adults) routinely place fish at the very bottom of their most-desirable-things-to-eat-for-dinner lists, making it difficult, if not downright impossible, to insure that they get enough of these important fats into their diet. I can help with this task! The fish recipe below has enticed many a once-reluctant fish eater to actually scrape their plate and ask for more! Pair it with the Oriental Vegetable Medley for an 11-net-carb meal that is sure to please EVERYONE. This is a great meal to serve the nay-sayers (almost all low carbers have at least one person in their life who insists that they will kill themselves eating low carb.) Just let someone try to disparage your Way of Eating as "unhealthy" once you've served them this meal! (If you happen to be allergic to nuts, you can substitute a mixture of wheat bran and crushed All Bran Extra Fiber cereal for the specified almonds.)

Truly Low Carb's Nut-Encrusted Fish

Approx. 20 oz. cod, haddock or other mild white fish 1 cup finely chopped almonds 2 eggs, beaten 4 Tb. soy flour 1 tsp. sea salt 1 Tb. minced dried parsley 1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper 2 Tb. olive oil Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Wash and pat dry fish fillets, and if necessary, cut into serving size pieces. Mix spices with flour and dredge fish pieces through mixture. Dip coated pieces of fish first into beaten egg, then into ground almonds, rolling around until all pieces are evenly coated. Heat oil in oven proof skillet (I prefer cast iron) to very hot, almost smoking, then add fish fillets. Brown on one side, then carefully turn them over, and immediately place the whole pan in the hot oven until fish is milky white throughout and flakes easily with fork- about 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness is usually about right. Serves 4 Each serving: 458 cal, 31 gm, fat (just 4 saturated), 8 gm carbohydrate, 4 gm. fiber, 37 gm. protein For printable recipe card for Truly Low Carb's Nut-Encrusted Fish, click here.
