Healthy Recipes for Fish & Lemon

Some ingredients naturally go perfectly together; fish and lemon are one of these combinations. Citrus brings out the mild flavor of fish and seafood with its subtle sourness. A squeeze of lemon can give you the right amount of tang in healthy fish recipes without masking other flavors. Try our Almond-&-Lemon Crusted Fish with Spinach or Salmon & Escarole Packets with Lemon-Tarragon Butter for a delicious fish dinner.

Brown sugar, coffee and coriander are the base for the delicious rub in this healthy baked salmon recipe. Serve with brown rice pilaf or a farro salad.

Fennel & Meyer Lemon-Stuffed Salmon

For this simple baked salmon recipe, just order the right size whole salmon from your grocery store or fish market and have them clean and scale it. You can also use two smaller fish (1 to 2 pounds each) and reduce the roasting time by about 10 minutes. If you like, you can opt for other species, such as striped bass, snapper or tilapia.

Smoked Salmon & Avocado Toasts

They would have been canapés back in 1979--today they're trendy avocado toasts. Let your guests creatively customize their nibbles by setting out an array of garnishes for this healthy appetizer.

Crab & Pea Cakes with Sesame-Ginger Aioli

In this healthy crab cake recipe, the subtle sweetness of crab and peas is complemented with a pop of ginger and sesame oil in the aioli. Crab is available in a range of "grades." For a sweeter flavor and more toothsome bite in this appetizer, choose lump or jumbo. Most crabs from the U.S. and Canada are considered good choices for the environment.

Horseradish Egg Salad-Stuffed Endive

Bitter crunch from the Belgian endive is a foil for the creamy, peppery egg salad and briny caviar topping in this healthy appetizer recipe.

Salmon Salad Tartine & Mixed Greens

Swap mayo for Greek yogurt to make this easy salmon salad. Canned tuna works well too.

Scallops with Radicchio-Apple Slaw

The secret to getting a nice golden-brown sear on your scallops is to buy ones that are labeled "dry." That means they haven't been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STP), a preservative that helps them retain water, which prevents them from browning well. Serve with roasted potatoes for a complete meal.

Cocoa-Rubbed Salmon with Orange Salsa

Cocoa gives this versatile rub an almost barbecue-like taste. Serve this healthy baked salmon dinner with a vegetable rice pilaf.

Salmon Alfredo

A low-fat white sauce, made with fat-free milk, coats the salmon, pasta, and broccoli in this complete 30-minute meal.

Spicy Steamed Tofu Custard with Shrimp & Shiitake Mushrooms

This tofu recipe is inspired by chawanmushi, a Japanese custard that is very soft and delicate, made with lots of liquid, which flows out of the custard as you eat it. Incorporating soft tofu with the eggs makes the custard firmer and more substantial. Besides shrimp, this custard could be made with scallops, cooked lobster, crab or cooked fish. Serve as a first course or for lunch with a side of vegetables and rice.

Miso Soup Cup of Noodles with Shrimp & Green Tea Soba

Green tea soba noodles, or cha soba, are buckwheat noodles made with powdered green tea, which imparts a subtle grassy note and pretty color. You can find them in Japanese markets or online. Regular buckwheat soba noodles work just as well in this cup-of-noodles-style mason jar noodle soup.

Avocado & Smoked Salmon Omelet
