Well, I am here to tell you that\u2026it is not that hard!<br \/>\nIf you can cook a steak, you can cook fish.&nbsp; If you can\u2019t cook a steak, then learn how to cook fish \ud83d\ude42&nbsp;There are numerous ways to make it, so many delicious flavors, and so many fish in the sea to enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"detail__media__img-highres  js-detail-img  js-detail-img-high aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/external-content.duckduckgo.com\/iu\/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drweil.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F12%2Fdiet-nutrition_recipes_grilled-fish-with-tropical-relish_2718x1808_000013743748.jpg&amp;f=1&amp;nofb=1\" alt=\"Grilled Fish With Tropical Relish - Dr. Weil's Healthy Kitchen\"><\/p>\n<p>Since this seems to be a hot topic and it is summer time (the perfect time to grill fish), I&nbsp;felt certain that a&nbsp;simple list of &nbsp;\u201cfish rules\u201d would possibly help some of the wanna-be fish chefs out there\u2026.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;#1 \u2013 Do not over cook it. &nbsp;If you do, it may resemble chewing on a piece of rubber instead of melting like butter in your mouth.<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;#2 \u2013 Fish should not smell fishy. If it smells fishy, then it is old.&nbsp; That means do not buy it and definitely don\u2019t eat it.<\/li>\n<li>#3 \u2013 You want to enjoy the fish itself \u2013 there is no need to marinate it in sauces or dressings. Additionally, fish is low-fat, full of protein and very good for you.&nbsp; You do not need to add a bunch of stuff to it to make it fattening.&nbsp;&nbsp;*I have found the best way to cook many varieties of fish is&nbsp;simply by adding sea salt, pepper, fresh herbs and a little olive oil.*<\/li>\n<li>#4 \u2013 If you have a thicker fish (ie \u2013 mahi or salmon) grilling is the best way to cook it. &nbsp;The grill should be very hot before you put the fish on. Fish should also be room temperature before you put it on the grill &#8211; do not take it straight out of the fridge and throw it on the grill.<\/li>\n<li>#5 \u2013 The most accurate rule to follow when cooking fish is 10 minutes per inch of thickness. You can also test to see if it is done with a fork. Poke the fork into the middle of the fish and twist it; the fish should \u201cflake\u201d off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are a couple of my favorite, easy and healthy fish recipes:<\/p>\n<p>Mahi-Mahi: Coat the fish with olive oil, S&amp;P, lime juice and fresh cilantro.&nbsp; Let it sit for @ 20 mins to come up to room temperature before grilling.&nbsp; Grill according to thickness.<\/p>\n<p>Shrimp: Use at least 21-30 count.&nbsp;&nbsp;De-vein and peel shrimp and rinse.&nbsp; Toss with S&amp;P, paprika, red pepper flakes, 2 cloves fresh garlic, olive oil.&nbsp; Let it marinate for about 30 mins.&nbsp; Grill or saut\u00e9 in sauce pan until the shrimp is an opaque pink color (about 3 mins per side).&nbsp; Serve with rice, grits, or on top of salad greens.<\/p>\n<p>Salmon: &nbsp;Coat fish with olive oil, old bay, dill, S&amp;P, fresh lemon juice. Let it sit for @ 20 mins to come up to room temperature before grilling.&nbsp; Grill according to thickness.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI love fish; but I don&#8217;t make it because I have no idea how.\u201d I hear this way too often from people who enjoy eating fish, but say that they only eat it when they go out to a restaurant because they are afraid to make it at home.
