MEDITERRANEAN SKILLET COD (SOUTH BEACH DIET PHASE 1)



Mediterranean Skillet Cod (South Beach Diet Phase 1) image

From most recent book. Haven't tried. Servethe cod in shallow bowls with soup spoons so you don't leave any of the rich sauce. This recipe is best made with red, full-flavored, Spanish pequillo peppers, which you usually find among the other jarred peppers in the supermarket. You could use roasted red pepper instead.

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 22m

Yield 4 pieces, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb salmon
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch fresh ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried, crushed rosemary
rosemary sprig, fresh (optional)
capers (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the fish into 4 equal-size portions. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary in a bowl. Brush the mixture onto the fish.
  • To grill, arrange the fish on a grill rack or use a grill basket sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Grill over medium-hot coals until the fish flakes easily (allow 4-6 minutes per 1/2" of thickness). If the fish is more than 1" thick, gently turn it halfway through grilling.
  • To broil, spray the rack of a broiler pan with olive oil cooking spray and arrange the fish on it. Broil 4" from the heat for 4-6 minutes per 1/2" thickness. If the fish is more than 1" thick, gently turn it through broiling.
  • To serve, top the fish with capers, if using, and garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.

SOUTH BEACH FISH KABOBS



South Beach Fish Kabobs image

Whether you are on the South Beach diet or not, the marinade for the fish is very tasty. These can be eaten on Phase I of the diet. So far I've tried these kabobs using tuna steak and I'll be trying it out on salmon next. This recipe is courtesy of the South Beach Diet book.
