Fish is one of the tastiest and healthiest lunch options you can choose—as long as you cook it the right way. Doing this is a lot easier said than done, but we’ve got you covered! Read on to find out what are the healthiest methods to cook fish.

Grilled Fish

Grilled fish is delicious, healthy and so easy to prepare. Fish like salmon, swordfish and tuna are particularly good for the grill—just keep a close watch, because it only takes a few minutes for the fish to grill.

Sautéed Fish

Pan-fried fish can be healthy as long as you fry it on olive oil over medium heat. If you don’t like baked or grilled fish, this is the perfect cooking method to get that delicious fried fish flavor, but with fewer calories.

Baking

Baking fish in an oven is the simplest method for cooking fish and an excellent way to retain omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and other nutrients. Cover the fillets with a nice seasoning from herbs, lemon, and other spice and bake until done.

Poaching and Steaming

Both poaching and steaming are cooking methods that use water, milk or wine for cooking fish. Since we’re not using oil or butter, these are healthy ways to cook fish while keeping its delicious flavor.
