Easy Skillet Grilled Fish

[OutsideMatchInside 10,166]

I love eating fish, because it is low in calories and high in Protein, but cooking it with variety can be tough.

Fish of your choice, I use Swai or Cod

Seasoning of your choice - I use Flavor God Garlic Lemon

Oil of your choice - I use an Avocado oil spray

Cast Iron skillet - it needs to be cast Iron or able to withstand high heat

Electric grill

Place your skillet on the grill, and heat the grill to at least 550, 600 is better. While the grill is heating weigh and season your fish. I find that even portion controlled pieces of fish vary in weight. Once the grill is hot, spray or carefully pour your oil in the skillet. I find that I can get away with one short spray of oil. The skillet is so hot that it makes a nice crust and the fish releases easily with very little oil.

Carefully place your fish fillet in the skillet. Close the lid on the grill and set your timer for 3 or 4 minutes depending on the thickness of your fish. when time is up, carefully using a fish spatula or a large spatula, remove the fish.

Voila. Easy grilled fish, you don't have to worry about it falling all apart and the taste is excellent. You could probably do this same thing in the oven, but I have only done it on the grill since it is grilling season.

I found this recipe here http://food52.com/recipes/58018-skillet-grilled-fish-tacos-with-cilantro-lime-crema and if you use low carb tortillas and make cole slaw with walden farms cole slaw dressing you could totally make a fish taco meal that everyone will enjoy without breaking the calorie bank.

I love eating fish! Great recipe. Too bad I live in an apartment with no grill. City living has its downsides.

Not that I'll be eating fish for a few weeks to a month anyway (I'm a week away from surgery) but when I make it in the oven I like to cook it en papillote. My go to is a nice piece of fish with some chipped ginger, lemongrass, and kefir leaves wrapped up in parchment paper. Bake it at 350 until the paper puffs up (10-15 min) Unwrap and you've got a fragrant healthy flavor steamed piece of fish. You can throw veggies in the parchment too and they'll cook right alongside the fish.
