What I Eat: Barramundi

Last night we had delicious Barramundi fish. With fish, I don't add any sort of breading unless I'm sure it is gluten-free. Instead, I like to use lots of seasonings, including garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. I grilled it in the pan for about 10 minutes and flipped it half-way through.

I had a side of roasted broccoli and potatoes, mixed with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. I roasted them in the oven (425 F) for 20-25 minutes.

I always try to add lots of fresh fruits and veggies to my diet, so I had my fish with a side salad of leafy greens, apples, and peppers. Most dressings aren't good for my diet because they usually contain distilled white vinegar (which is derived from corn). To substitute, I love to use a combination of lemon juice and olive oil for a fresh taste!

[As a side note, distilled white vinegar is the ONLY type of vinegar that flares me. Apple cider, balsamic, white wine, and rice vinegar have never caused me to flare.]

What I Eat: Barramundi Fish and Roasted Potatoes

Barramundi Fish, Veggies, and Roasted Potatoes with a Side Salad

This beautiful selection of food came from HelloFresh (a healthy and inexpensive meal kit that I get delivered weekly).

I just recently discovered this fish and I love it! It is a wonderfully light and flaky white fish that seems to go well with just about anything.

For this dish, I seasoned the barramundi with a mix of salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and paprika powder. Then I just seared it in a pan for around 10 minutes.

I took some green beans and broccoli and sautéed them in some similar spices.

I roasted some potatoes in the oven. Just add a drizzle of olive oil, and salt and pepper.

As a healthy side salad, I had mixed greens with apple slices. Drizzled olive oil and lemon juice made a simple and tasty dressing.

My diet is restrictive but it doesn't have to be boring. These flavors comes from spices instead of pre-made sauces that may have questionable ingredients. There are no starches or breading on the fish.

This complete meal is free of wheat, gluten, corn and all wheat and corn derivatives.
