Move over run of the mill, boring fish recipe. Just for you, we have created a flavorful fish recipe that comes together in minutes…

You don’t have to be one of our clients to know how we feel about fish. After all, you probably know about Lyssie’s love affair with these lil’ guys. Yup, who knew that, we, formerly (admittedly) pain-in-the-butt, picky little girls would one day find ourselves having a love affair with sardines?! But it’s true, these little guys had us at “skinless & boneless”…and as for other fish, they had us at hello.

But we didn’t create recipes like our Soy Ginger Salmon, Buffalo Salmon, Baked Talapia with Wild Blueberry Chipotle Chutney and Dijon Salmon Cakes just for us. After all, it would be virtually impossible to be registered dietitians and not tout the health benefits of eating fish. One of the claims to fame of this protein-packed food is its omega 3 fats. They help to fight inflammation (combatting most chronic diseases), and for all you mommas-to-be, omega 3’s are amazing for your babies brain, so give this flounder a whirl. The blend of spices not only provides you with flavor, but creates a nice light crust, that your taste buds will swear are eating fried fish—but your slim waistline will prove them otherwise!   Who needs a quarter-pounder, when you can indulge in this Flounder?!
