'Buttery' scallops full of
fruit, fun for Fish Friday
fruit, fun for Fish Friday
As Easter weekend approaches and Lent winds down, Moms Tassleberry knows families are getting bored with fish every Friday, restless with the same old recipes and ready for something fun.
This week she contributes her sixth in a series of easy-to-prepare healthy fish recipes for those observing the season.
For this easy-to-prepare meal, Moms suggests scallops with a fruity twist. Scallops have the added benefit of a non-fishy taste, satisfying picky children and helping out harried homemakers.
This is her sixth Fish Friday recipe following Double Strawberry Baked Halibut, Broiled Strawberry Jerked Swordfish, Blueberry Salsa Roasted Salmon, Strawberry Smothered Broiled Tuna Steaks and Strawberry Codfish Tacos (scroll down page to access these recipes). Check this page each Thursday for that week's suggestion.
The recipe below employs the whole-fruit Tassleberry Farm Blueberry Butter and Tassleberry Farm Blueberry Vinegar in its preparation.

Despite the buttery name, nutrition-minded chefs will find that fruit preserves carry through on the health benefits of the fruit they are produced from.
Blueberries are high in flavonoids, protect against prostate cancer, urinary tract infections, cataracts and brain damage from strokes and heart disease.
Vinegar smooths the absorption of its nutrients like calcium, magnesium and Vitamin C, will kill harmful stomach bacterias and help control blood sugar and insulin levels.
Heart-healthy scallops are high in protein and a great source of Vitamin B12, critical for good cardiovascular health and is a natural ally in the battle against osteoporosis. Each serving of the recipe belows supplies one-third of the daily requirement of B12. Scallops also provide Omega-3 fatty acids, along with magnesium and potassium, three nutrients also beneficial to one's cardiovascular system, easing blood flow and maintaining normal blood pressure.
