Blackened Fish Sandwich With Avocado and Cabbage Recipe

The default fish sandwich in America is a slab of heavily processed mystery seafood, breaded and deep fried, bathed in a tartar-like sauce, and stuffed into an oversize squishy roll. You end up dropping anywhere between 600 and 800 calories and the better part of the day's sodium allotment for something that's supposed to be healthy. Our fish sandwich replaces processed patties with fresh tilapia fillets, frying with blackening, and tartar sauce with creamy avocado and crunchy cabbage. You won't miss the mystery meat alternative you're used to, as this blackened fish sandwich packs a punch.

NUTRITION: 460 calories, 14 g fat (2.5 g saturated), 620 mg sodium
SERVES 4
YOU'LL NEED
1 cup plain Greek-style yogurt
1 tsp sriracha
Juice of one lime
1 Tbsp canola oil
4 tilapia or catfish fillets (6 oz each)
1 Tbsp blackening seasoning
4 whole-wheat sesame seed buns
1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced
2 cups shredded red cabbage
Pickled onions

HOW TO MAKE IT
Combine the yogurt, sriracha, and lime juice. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Rub the fish fillets on both sides with plenty of blackening seasoning.
When the oil in the pan is smoking, add the fish and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes, until a dark crust forms.
Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the fish flakes with gentle pressure from your finger.
While the fish is cooking, toast the buns (cut side up) under the broiler. Divide the avocado and cabbage among the buns. Top with the hot fish, yogurt sauce, and onions.

Blackening is one of our favorite cooking techniques—not just because it's incredibly delicious, but also because the aggressive spice rub adds a potent layer of antioxidants to whatever it coats. Follow these three simple steps for fish, chicken, or pork, and you can enjoy this cooking technique on a wide variety of proteins.

Step 1: Coat each piece of fish or meat on both sides with about 3⁄4 tsp blackening seasoning.
Step 2: Cook, undisturbed, in a very hot cast-iron skillet coated with canola oil until a dark crust develops.
Step 3: Flip and repeat, until cooked all the way through.

Grilled Chicken Sandwich With Chimichurri Sauce

No chain menu in America is without a chicken sandwich or two, and people often select it thinking of it as a healthier alternative to red meat. Eighty percent of the time, it is breaded and fried, and when it isn't (as in the case with Panera's Chipotle Chicken), it's so overloaded with condiments and bulky bread that you'll be lucky to escape consuming fewer than 1,000 calories. So much for being a healthy alternative to a hamburger.

This grilled chicken sandwich delivers heroic flavor by employing chimichurri, an Argentine herb-based sauce that would make shoe leather taste like fine dining, along with a solid supporting cast of sweet peppers, sharp raw onions, and peppery greens. Good luck finding a side salad, let alone a real sandwich, at a restaurant for 310 calories.

NUTRITION: 310 calories, 8 g fat (3 g saturated), 475 mg sodium

SERVES 4
YOU'LL NEED
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (6 oz each)
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups mixed baby greens
4 whole-wheat sesame buns, split and lightly toasted
1⁄2 red onion, thinly sliced
1⁄2 cup jarred roasted red peppers
1⁄2 cup chimichurri

HOW TO MAKE IT
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or cast-iron skillet.
Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper and grill or sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until firm and cooked through.
Divide the mixed greens among the bun bottoms.
Top each bun with a chicken thigh, then pile on the onion and peppers.
Spoon on the chimichurri, then top with the other bun halves.
Eat This Tip
You can buy bottled roasted red peppers in any supermarket, but how about you save a few bucks and roast them yourself instead? Cook the bell peppers (red and yellow are best) at 400°F until the skin blackens and the flesh softens, about 25 minutes (you can also do this on a grill or even over a low flame on a gas stovetop). Place the peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them sit for 10 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and peel off the dark skin (the steam created by covering the peppers makes this easy). Discard the stems and seeds, and they're ready to eat.

Healthy Scrambled Eggs With Salmon, Asparagus, and Goat Cheese Recipe

Two eggs scrambled in a pat of butter contain approximately 200 calories. So how do so many other restaurants sling together scrambles with more than 1,000 calories? Simple: excessive oil and egregious amounts of cheese. This healthy scrambled eggs recipe has all the makings of hearty breakfast fare—butter, cheese, protein—but with healthy fats, fresh vegetables, and a light caloric toll. Serve it with a scoop of roasted potatoes and fresh fruit.

NUTRITION: 320 calories, 17 g fat (6 g saturated), 540 mg sodium

SERVES 4
YOU'LL NEED
1 Tbsp butter
8 stalks asparagus, woody bottoms removed, chopped into 1" pieces
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 eggs (Spend the extra dollar or two to buy the highest quality eggs you can find. Free-range farmers market eggs are best.)
2 Tbsp fat-free milk
1⁄4 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese
4 oz smoked salmon, chopped
HOW TO MAKE IT
Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
When the butter begins to foam, add the asparagus and cook until just tender ("crisp-tender" in kitchen parlance). Season with salt and pepper.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk with the milk.
Season with a few pinches of salt and pepper and add to the pan with the asparagus.
Turn the heat down to low and use a wooden spoon to constantly stir and scrape the eggs until they begin to form soft curds. A minute before they're done, stir in the goat cheese.
Remove from the heat when the eggs are still creamy and soft (remember, scrambled eggs are like meat— they continue to cook even after you cut the heat) and fold in the smoked salmon.
Eat This Tip
There is no shortage of stellar scramble combinations. Invent on the fly, or go with one of these flavor-packed approaches.

Sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, and caramelized onions
Chorizo and onion, with diced avocado and chopped cilantro stirred in before serving
Chunks of chicken or turkey sausage, scallions, and cheddar
Cherry tomatoes, with a swirl of pesto stirred in at the last moment, or even a couple spoonfuls of spicy tomato sauce

This Shrimp Scampi With Linguine Pasta Recipe Is Garlicky Perfection

I am a huge fan of garlic—which I will happily blame my Italian grandmother for. My love for garlic runs deep. Give me any kind of meal with minced garlic in it, and I am the happiest woman in the world. So you can imagine my utter excitement when I made a shrimp scampi linguine pasta recipe that had so much garlic in it, it made me cry happy tears.

Now most shrimp scampi dishes are made with dry white wine. However, not all of us have a bottle of white open to cook with, so I have an easy shrimp scampi pasta without wine! You simply substitute the dry white wine for vegetable broth instead. It will give the shrimp scampi sauce a nice salty finish that pairs well with the shrimp.

What is the best pasta for shrimp scampi?
I find the most common go-to pasta used for shrimp scampi is linguine. However, that doesn't mean you have to always use linguine in your recipe—especially if you're looking for a gluten-free or low-carb alternative. You can try one of these healthy pasta brands, give it a try with this gluten-free linguine, or even this linguine made with spinach!

Do you need to have shrimp scampi over pasta?
Now, usually this dish is served with pasta, but if you don't want it, this recipe is delicious on its own! You could always make this shrimp scampi recipe with some roasted vegetables. Also, that shrimp scampi sauce is so delectable, a fresh loaf of crusty bread would be perfect for dipping! All you have to do is skip making the pasta in the instructions.

Here's how to make shrimp scampi for an easy weeknight dinner option!

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/4 cup vegetable broth (or dry white wine)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 oz. linguine

HOW TO MAKE IT
Boil water and cook the linguine.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat up the olive oil and the butter.
Add in the minced garlic and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add in the large shrimp. If it the shrimp is pre-cooked, you only need to heat it through for a few minutes. If not, cook the shrimp until it is pink (around 5-10 minutes).
Pour in the vegetable broth (or dry white wine) and sprinkle in the red pepper flakes. Cook until the sauce starts to simmer.
Add in the linguine. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the pasta dish.
Serve with garnishes of chopped parsley.
