Good baked fish and bandster friendly!



Recommended Posts

I made this last night and it was big hit! I'm eating it again today for lunch and it really is good.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 4 Talapia filets (or any type of fish you like)
  • 1/4 c. salad dressing, ranch, nonfat or lowfat
  • 3 T. yogurt, plain, nonfat or lowfat
  • 1 1/2 T. mustard
  • 1/2 lb. spinach, fresh (I used a big bag of baby spinach)
  • galic salt and various other spices to your liking (I used a little garlic and Emrils fish rub)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Rinse fish, pat dry with paper towels and arrange in glass baking dish.
  3. Mix dressing, yogurt and mustard; spoon evenly over fish.
  4. Spice the fish up, use your favorite seasonings, doesn't take much as the Salad Dressing and mustard have some spice in them. I like to sprinkle a little of Emeril's fish rub on mine, then maybe a shake or two of the garlic salt.
  5. Bake until fish is no longer translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. (I cooked mine more like 15 - 20 min)
  6. Remove tough stems from spinach; rinse thoroughly and drain. (I didn't have to do this as I bought the baby spinach in a bag)
  7. Heat nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. When skillet is hot, add spinach and stir-fry just to wilt the leaves, about 30 seconds. (I also added a little pam butter flavored to the skilley to give it a little more flavor and seasoned the spinach with a squeeze of lemon and garlic salt)
  9. Arrange spinach single layer on serving plates; top with baked fish.

Sunshine, any idea on how much Protein?

Thanks for asking that question. I updated the recipe, but normally 4 oz of fish have 20 grams of Protein. I used talapia - the 4 oz is raw of course, after you cook it, it usually reduces down to about 3 oz, but it is still 20 g of protein. yum!

Here's an easy one (sorry I don't have nutritional stats though):

Place catfish fillets in baking dish, squeeze on juice of 1-2 limes, sprinkle liberally with garlic powder and Zatarain's creole seasoning (it's the best!), and bake at 400F for about 20-25 minutes. Be sure to spoon juices over each fillet when serving to make it extra tasty and moist.

Even friends who don't understand why you wouldn't just fry catfish love this one! ;)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
