The 'Post workout' Pan-Seared Fish & Salad

The 'Post-workout' : Pan-Seared Fish & salad recipe and photo courtesy of Saida Munroe.

After a work-out, the last thing I want to think about is putting in a work-out in the kitchen! The point is to feed yourself in a way that both nourishes and re-energizes your body but doesn't lack in flavor or feel more like a snack than anything else. This is probably one of the most simple nutritious post work-out meals you can whip up in just under 15 minutes! 

Ingredients

2 fillets of fresh fish Tilapia or Swaii*

2 Teaspoons of Old Bay fish & poultry seasoning

1/2 cup of lemon juice or 1 lime

Organic Baby Arugula

Organic Spinach

1 organic roma tomato

Lemon Vinaigrette for salad

* I recommend using Swaii for more flavor

Recipe

Fish:

Rinse fish with cool water and place fillets on a flat surface to prep. Pat dry fillets with a paper towel and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning over both sides of your fish -- repeat step with second fillet. Pre-heat stove on medium fire and coat skillet or frying pan with a thin layer of cooking oil {preferably sesame oil --which is lower in saturated fat}. Place your fish in pre-heated skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until both sides have browned and slightly crisp. Drizzle with lemon/lime juice and serve.

Salad:

In a large bowl toss spinach leaves, arugula and sliced roma tomatoes and top with lemon vinaigrette or choice salad dressing.

Voila, that was easy!

Now enjoy!
