Sounds like a yummy recipe! :P

Congrats on the weight loss!

Here are a couple recipes I put on another site. Not the healthiest, but not bad. I'll start typing out some good low carb and low fat recipes.

Grilled Mahi Mahi w/ crab diablo sauce

When I was in Florida I was able to catch a few blue crabs, so I tried to improvise my favorate dish from a cajan restaurant I like to hit up. The crab can be substituted with crawfish, scallops or lobster meat.

FISH
4 good Mahi filets
Black Pepper, red pepper, salt, paprika, garlic powder to taste
olive oil

SAUCE
2 plum tomatoes
1 small onion
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 cup whole milk
3 garlic cloves - minced
1-2 tsp red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste

FISH
Rinse and dry the filets, rub with a little olive oil and the seasoning, and grill on high heat for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes with a fork. Mahi isn't really flaky like other fish, so don't over cook it.

SAUCE
Steam the crab and pull all the meat out. Finely chop the onion and pepper and saute on medium heat for 5 minutes. Chop the tomatoes and add half to the pot. Add the other ingredients, reduce the heat to medium low and stir frequently until it reduces and starts getting thick. Stir in the crab meat and the other half of the tomato and cook for a couple more minutes. Serve over the fish.



Baked Halibut w/ crawfish stuffing

My local market had a sale on crawfish so I made a stuffing for some halibut and it was excellent.

4 halibut filets/steaks
1/4 cup bread crumbs
3 tbls butter
oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika & red or white pepper powder
1 lemon sliced thin

STUFFING
1/2 tsp oregano
4 garlic cloves
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp red pepper powder
1/2 lb. crawfish meat
1/3 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup bread crumbs


Clean and chop the crawfish meat into small pieces and mix all of the stuffing ingredients together in a bowl. Rinse and dry the fish, and use a pearing knife to cut pockets in the filets. Make the pockets as big as possible, while keeping the incision as small as possible. Melt 2 tbls of the butter for later. Heat a large pan on high heat while stuffing the fish with as much of the stuffing that you can fit without bursting them. Preheat the oven to 325. Add the fish seasonings to both sides of the fish and sear in 1 tbls of the butter for about 45 seconds each side. Remove from the heat and put the fish in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the rest of the bread crumbs over the filets and drizzle the melted butter over it all. Cover each filet with thin slices of lemon, cover the dish with aluminum foil and put in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
