When sourced and cooked correctly, fish is packed full of protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids, along with vitamins and minerals. Better still, fish dishes are found on many restaurant menus.
Here are five of the best fish meals to order at leading restaurant chains.
Ancho Salmon at Chili’s
If you’re heading to Chili’s, opt for the Ancho salmon. Served alongside Mexican rice and nutritious steamed broccoli, it’s a wonderfully balanced meal. You’ll get a major dose of lean protein from this dish, as well as fiber and those all-important omega-3 fats.
Blackened Tilapia at Ruby Tuesday
Ruby Tuesday offers one of the tastiest and most nutritious fish dishes of any chain with its blackened tilapia. Served with grilled zucchini and rice pilaf, it’s low on calories and fat, but notably high in protein and vitamin D.
Grilled Rainbow Trout at Red Lobster
Red Lobster has a whole host of fish dishes to choose from. The grilled rainbow trout is one of the best. At under 500 calories, this is a light dish to choose. It’s also low in sodium, but offers a whopping 67 grams of protein.
Herb-Grilled Salmon at Olive Garden
Most diners at Olive Garden fill up on calorie-rich breadsticks and pasta. But if you’re looking for something much healthier, order the herb-grilled salmon. It’s a simple but flavorful dish, served with healthy garlic broccoli on the side.
Enlightened Seared Ahi Salad at BJ’s Brewhouse
Half fish-dish, half salad, BJ’s Brewhouse’s enlightened seared ahi salad comes with top quality ahi tuna, lots of leafy greens, tomatoes, avocados, and more. It’s delicious and nutritious, guaranteed to leave you feeling full and content.
