25 Best Seafood Recipes
These delightful treats from the sea are key to a healthy diet. Low in calories, sodium, and cholesterol, protein-packed seafood provides vitamins and minerals and may reduce the risk of heart disease and lower blood pressure.

Grilled Halibut with Peach and Pepper Salsa
Heat up the grill; our Grilled Halibut with Peach and Pepper Salsa is its most delicious cooked this way. Halibut is hailed by fish lovers for its firm texture, flaky white meat, and accessibility. A flat fish, similar to flounder, halibut fresh catches have been recorded at over 600 pounds – a lot to go around! The fresh, sweet-and-spicy salsa pairs perfectly with the smoky flavor offered by the grill.

Bourbon-Glazed Salmon
Brown sugar and bourbon combine to create the perfect sweet and smoky flavor that infuses this already-flavorful fish. Omega-3 fatty acids in this fish have many health benefits, including protecting against heart disease. Cooking time can vary, depending on the thickness of salmon. As a general rule, cook 10 minutes for each inch of thickness. Then check the center and make sure it’s light pink and opaque.

Southwestern-Style Shrimp Taco Salad
Cilantro, chipotle hot sauce, corn, black beans, and green onion lend fantastic south-of-the-border flavor to this shrimp-topped taco salad.

Salmon Croquettes
“We have made this twice and both times it was outstanding. My five year old loves it! Very easy to put together and fairly quick. This time I made it with 2 pouches of salmon rather than raw filets. We couldn’t tell a difference. If your bell peppers are really wet, drain them first. This time I didn’t and the patties didn’t want to stick. Will definitely make this again!! One of our new favorites!” –jennday1

Seared Scallops with Warm Tuscan Beans
Pair this one-dish seared scallops meal with a side of garlic bread. It’s perfect for sopping up every last drop of the delicious sauce. The iron in spinach and protein in the beans and scallops make this a perfect alternative to a red meat meal.

Tuna Noodle Casserole
The expression “goes together like peas and carrots” doesn’t even do this casserole justice; although, those two ingredients help to make the creamy casserole a delectable comfort food.

Pan-Grilled Halibut with Chimichurri
Chimichurri is a fresh herb-lemon sauce made with cilantro, basil, and shallots. Pan-frying this dish gives the fish a crispy outer layer, which is the perfect texture for topping with the fresh herb mixture.

Lemon Pepper Shrimp Scampi
For budget cooking, this is perfect. This recipe only requires 6 ingredients (plus salt and pepper) and shrimp is an affordable type of seafood, fresh or frozen. Zesty and a bit spicy, this Mediterranean dish is one of our favorite no-fuss recipes.

Fish Tacos with Lime-Cilantro Crema
Crunchy cabbage combines with flaky white fish and smoky cumin in this Latin-style dish. Crema is a fresh and creamy sauce that is the perfect thing to cool off the smoky spiced snapper.

Crab Cakes with Spicy Rémoulade
You don’t have to be in Maryland to enjoy delicious crab cakes. You can make them in your own kitchen and serve over mixed greens with a side of this must-have rémoulade. Succulent crab, combined with crunchy panko crumbs, and crisp onions and peppers are the secret to our signature crab cakes. Cooking Light Editor Scott Mowbray raves, “These are the best crab cakes we’ve ever made!”
