More Americans are incorporating seafood into their diets than ever before in the past. And it’s not just because sushi has become so popular over the past few years. People are realizing just how versatile fish fillet and steaks and how easily they can be seasoned to create a great tasting dish. Since creating a flavorful seafood dish requires so little effort, families are beginning to cook more at home instead of heading to McDonald’s to eat an unhealthy, fried fish sandwich that consists of low-quality fish that lacks much nutritional value. Yet, just because Americans are starting to cook their seafood in a healthy way, that doesn’t mean it has to be devoid of flavor or has to be prepared in a fancy fashion.
Seafood meals have often seemed to be expensive high-class meals and many of them can be, but healthy fish-based dishes can also be turned into quick bites that are convenient to eat. Fast food doesn’t have to be greasy or unhealthy because cooks can easily turn fish fillet and steaks into great meals that don’t take all day to make and that can be quickly consumed. A healthy and easy way to add flavor to fish is to use orange juice and honey to baste the fish. Both orange juice and honey are natural ingredients full of nutritional value themselves, so adding them to nutrient-rich fish fillet and steaks creates a tasty meal packed with antioxidants that can help reduce risks for cancer and high blood pressure.
To make this easy meal, simply stick the fish fillet and steaks into a refrigerator-safe container, coat the fish with honey and orange juice, and let it sit in the mixture overnight. The next day, you can cook the fish and cut it into smaller pieces, which will help make it seem like finger food for your friends to consume. This dish is a great addition to any party, get together, or potluck, and your friends and family will be impressed by both your culinary skills and the nutritional value of the meal. Since the majority of the other dishes will likely be frozen foods that were simply heated up or fried foods that were purchased pre-made, your plate will truly stand out from the rest as a healthy and delicious gourmet option.
