Seafood is a delicious and healthy ingredient that can be used in a myriad of ways. The good news is you can find 4 of the very best seafood recipes to sample, in the post below.
Crab cakes
This crab cake recipe is one of the best ways of eating seafood there is. It’s incredibly easy too, with most of the work going into collecting the ingredients you will need. Another great thing about these crab cakes is that they can be fried in a pan with a little oil, or baked in the oven for an even more healthy dish.
You can serve them as a main meal along with a salad for your guests or family, or you could make the cake smaller and serve them on a large platter with sauces and dips as a fun appetizer, or buffet item.
Just be sure to make them ahead of time, and leave enough time for the shaped cakes to sit in the fridge for a few hours. This will help them egg bind them and ensure they retain their shape while they cook.
Lemon and salmon pasta
For this dish, you need to wrap the salmon in foil and cook it in the oven for around 20 mins. While that is going on, boil up some linguine and some tender stem broccoli. Once that is all cooked, and drained, add chicken stock to cream cheese in a pan and melt slowly. Add some crushed garlic, a sprinkle of chili flakes and then the juice of a lemon.
Once the sauce has combined, add the pasta and the broccoli and stir to coat. Then serve the cooked salmon on the side with an extra slice of lemon!
Smoked salmon and quails eggs
Simple, and ideal for anyone following a ketogenic diet, smoked salmon and quails eggs is also a very refined salad you can serve at a buffet for a special occasion. The three main ingredients are smoked salmon, quail eggs, and mayonnaise. Although many people like to add a little smoked paprika to the mix for some extra kick.
The great thing about the quail’s eggs is that they are so small and act as a single mouthful so you get all the delicious flavours together and combined. Just be sure to hard boil them for the right amount of time, as you don’t want them to become overcooked and grey as this will ruin the look of this dish.
Crab mac and cheese
Is there anything better than a scratch-made, rich and creamy mac and cheese? Well yes, actually there is and it’s this mac and cheese with deliciously sweet and piquant crab meat. You will indeed need to flex some of your more advanced cooking skills to make this dish such as whipping up a rue, however, it is well worth it because it is so rich and tasty once it’s done.
If you want to preserve the flavor contract between the mac and cheese and the crab, why not sprinkle the latter around the sides rather than mixing it all the way through.
