Thread: need help from membership low sodium cooking fish

if anyone has any reciepes for cooking fish please post them or e mail them to me.i love eating fish but now i have conjestive heart failure and that means no salt or deep fryed foods

Have you tried that Mrs. Dash shake on seasoning? It's all low sodium and they make a wide variety of flavors/blends. Maybe try some of that on grilled or broiled crappie? Just a thought. Good luck and stay healthy!

Try baking crappie with some no sodium seasoning. Baste with no sodium butter once every 5-7 minutes. for about 15 minutes @ 350 degrees.

I do the same thing on the grill as kincade mentioned in his post above. I put the
fish in a flat hamburger basket so they stay together when you turn them. Use any non-salt herb seasoning that you like. Yum!

of any "shake and bake" types of coatings !! There's a lot of sugar and salt in some of those mixes. Always read the ingredients label !! (and stay away from canned foods and packaged meals ... they're salted for preservation)

You don't have to "deep fry" fish, to have them "fried" to eat. I'd coat them with yellow corn meal and fry them in a non-stick skillet, in a thin layer of olive oil. Maybe even chop them up into bits and stir-fry them along with some veggies ??

thanks for these recipes i will give them a try.thanks again!good luck fishing this spring

McCormick makes sodium free seasoning for all types of meat (beef, chicken, fish) They are actually very good.

For baked fish try cooking your crappie in tinfoil out on the grill.

For coated fish bake it in the oven in a low corning ware type dish which has been basted with olive oil, canola oil, etc. To coat the fish use bisquick which has been seasoned to your liking with pepper, paprika, no sodium fish seasoning, etc. To get a crisp coating put fish in bisquik first, then into egg beaters or egg whites and then back into the bisquick.

Since going low salt I have been coating the filets with olive oil and garlic powder and cooking them on a teflon griddle in the oven at 425 degrees. I cook them for ten minutes and flip the filets for another ten minutes on the other side. They will get crispy on both sides of the filet.

I am also on a low sodium diet. Kroger has a good corn meal that has "zero" mg of sodium and it is very good. It comes in a tub. I also make my own ketchup to dip my crappie in. It tastes so good and fresh and I hardly miss the salt at all and is better for you.

Ketchup

1 - 6 oz can no salt added tomato paste
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 Tablespoon sugar or sugar subst.
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
dash cayenne powder or to taste

Combine all ingredients with a wisk in a saucepan on medium heat. When starts to boil bring down heat to simmer and cook about 15-20 minutes then bring off the stove. Let sit until cool. Store in clean jar in fridge. AWESOME - I never buy store ketchup anymore!
