Main Ingredient - Seafood

This recipe is handy stand-by for those times when you're tired and want something warm and comforting to eat. It's based on a can of creamed corn and a can of crab meat. Easy!

This is a quick way to add a little zing to any fish fillet. If you haven't fresh rosemary, you can use the dried version, but add it later with the lemon juice and wine.

Here's a summer stir-fry recipe to head off the obesity crisis. It's got ample vegetables, a serve of lean protein (fish, meat, chicken or eggs) or its filling value plus a small serve of carbs (cut down, don't cut out) to balance out the meal.

A simply divine combination for when mangos are in season. Try to choose a mango that's firm or even a little underipe with its skin tinged with green.

This delicious recipe rewards you with omega-3 fats from the fish while the crunchy salad underneath gives you a boost of minerals and fibre. And the curried-yoghurt topping is rich in calcium.

Everyone loves these delicious salmon cakes and they're quick and easy to make. An interesting alternative to mince.

Absolutely beautiful over a bed of soft rice. The spicy sauce also does justice to chicken pieces or vegetables.

If you like Asian flavours, you'll enjoy this delicious way to dress up fish fillets. The flavours of the ginger, sesame and garlic team well so nicely - and you can always add a little chilli for some heat.

The flavours of wine, lemon, pepper and parsley just add a little something but without taking away from the magnificent flavour of the fish itself. Keep the vegetables fairly simple without strong overpowering flavours and you'll create a delicious meal. The fat in this dish is mostly monounsaturated.

I love this quick yet healthy pasta dinner. Use up whatever vegetables you have hanging around in the fridge and you'll have a family friendly meal ready in under 30 minutes. Not bad!

Use this flavoursome variation of the usual basil-based pesto to enliven any fish.
 

 

Sardines are an oily fish which is high in omega-3s. Easy and convenient in cans, most people just put them on toast. This is a tangy recipe that uses them in a different way.

This recipe shows how to get the omegas in balance. It gives you the omega-3s from the prawns topped up with more from canola oil, walnuts, rocket and spinach. There's little competing fats. And it's light and low in kilojoules so it keeps you at the right weight - carrying excess weight strains and loads the lower joints in your ankles and knees.

A great idea for a summer barbecue. So simple to prepare - and no washing up afterwards! The fish takes on the fragrance of the lemon, herbs and onion yet retains its simplicity and freshness.
