John Dory Recipe and Calories

One very healthy fish that is often over looked with it comes to cooking is the John Dory. This Mediterranean fish is amazing tasting, very, very healthy - but there seem to be few recipes available on the net with regards how to cook it - and next to none that are healthy (all seem to involve double cream somewhere in their ingredients list).

Well that sort of John Dory recipe is no good for those of us trying to get slim and lose our belly.

Calories in a John Dory
Firth though let us show you just how healthy a fish it really is by showing you how many calories it contains (and other nutritional information).

This is per 150g serving

Healthy John Dory Fish and Chips Recipe
One of the most popular dishes amongst my family and friends is fish and chips - but the problem is just how unhealthy it is, with a massive amount of fat trying to clog your arteries. This recipe attempts to address that problem by giving you a healthy John Dory recipe to service with chips.

It is also one of the quickest and easiest recipes in the world!

Place the fillets it in a pan with simmering water and a splash of white wine. Leave it for amount 5 minutes or so until it flakes easily and is cooked through.

In the mean time take a packet of McCains microwave chips (or if you prefer, grill some low fat chips - I use the microwave ones as they limit my quantity and I have the specific weight watcher points for it) and cook them as per instructions.

With 3 minutes to go on the fish put a tomato in.

When the fish is done serve it up on a plate with the tomato, chips and a couple of pickled onions - add salt and pepper and you are done. A simple 5 minute way of cooking a delicious and healthy fish that is suitable for every diet.

ALMOND CHICKEN RECIPE

March 1st, 2009

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
6 boneless chicken breast halves, without skin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch blended with 2 teaspoons water
1 tablespoon cold butter, cut in small pieces
1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds*
lemon slices, optional
parsley sprigs, optional

PREPARATION:

Whisk lemon juice with 1/4 cup oil, the Dijon mustard, garlic, and pepper sauce.
Arrange chicken in a shallow glass dish, just large enough in size to hold the chicken in one layer. Pour lemon mixture over chicken, turning to coat evenly. Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator. Drain chicken and strain marinade into a saucepan. Bring marinade to a boil and continue to boil for 1 minute. Set aside.
In a large, heavy skillet, over high heat, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and tender. Remove chicken and keep warm. Add broth, marinade, and cornstarch-water mixture to the skillet. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in toasted almonds and remove from heat. Arrange chicken on a heated platter or dinner plates. Pour sauce over the chicken and garnish with lemon slices and parsley sprigs, if desired.

Serves 6.

*To toast nuts, spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in a 350° oven, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes. Or, toast in an ungreased skillet over medium heat, stirring, until golden brown and aromatic.
