Fish with a Fiery Taste: Cajun Fish

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 lbs Red Snapper or Cod or any fish you want
  • 1 Tbsp Paprika or Creole Seasoning
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped chives

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges


  1. Preheat the grill; place the grill rack 5" from the coals.


  2. Spray a sheet of heavy-duty foil with non-stick spray; place the fish, skin-side down, in the center. Fold up the edges to make a pan. In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic, onion, pepper, cayenne, oregano, salt and thyme. Drizzle the oil on the fish; sprinkle with the spice mixture, lemon juice and chives.


  3. Transfer the foil to the grill rack, Cover the grill, opening the top and bottom flues Slightly. Cook the fish until just opaque in the center, 10-15 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and veggies of your choice.
WW Points Value: 4 (1/4 of fish)


Note: This recipe appears in the WW New Complete Cookbook. The orginal recipe was cajun red snapper but you can use any fish you want. If you don't have a grill, no problem. You can bake the fish for 20 minutes @ 350 F or broil the fish for 10-20 minutes. I use onions instead of shallots and it's just as good. Paprika may be too hot for your taste buds so creole seasoning works just as well.
