South Beach Diet Spicy Grilled Fish And Peppers Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN SKILLET COD (SOUTH BEACH DIET PHASE 1)

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add zucchini, onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes.
• Stir in tomatoes and peppers and simmer over medium heat 10 minutes longer.
• Nestle fish fillets into the sauce, spooning some of the mixture on top of the fillets. Cover the pan and continue to simmer until fish is opaque and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

SOUTH BEACH FISH KABOBS

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, lime juice and dijon mustard in a small mixing bowl.
• Add fish cubes to the marinade, cover and place in refrigerator; marinate for 15 minutes turning once to coat.
• Meanwhile clean, core and cut your veggies.
• Thread skewers with veggies and fish, 4 pieces of fish per skewer, and brush kabobs with leftover marinade.
• Preheat broiler and place the kabobs on a broiler pan.
• Broil about 4 inches from heat for about 6-8 minutes turning once and brush on more marinade when turning.
• Feel free to grill them also.

GRILLED SALMON WITH ROSEMARY (SOUTH BEACH PHASE I)

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 DIET SPICY GRILLED FISH AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Mix dressing and crushed red pepper. Pour half of dressing mixture over fish in resealable plastic bag; pour remaining mixture over peppers in separate resealable plastic bag. Seal bags. Turn bags over several times to evenly coat fish and peppers. Refrigerate 15 minutes to marinate.
• Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade. Remove peppers from marinade, reserving marinade. Place peppers on grill. Top with fish; cover grill with lid.
• Grill 4 minutes; carefully turn fish. Brush with reserved marinade from peppers. Grill, covered, an additional 2 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Place fish and peppers on plate; let stand 3 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and cilantro.
