This is excellent recipe! :)

Fish Pouch Plus

34 Proteins 1 Fats 2 Carbs

This is an entire seafood meal in a pouch. No muss no fuss. When finished eating just toss pouch in trash with no cleanup!! ( This recipe may seem lenghty, but it's really a breeze.). Notice in directions I am using mostly frozen products ie fish and veggies for convenience and savings!!

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: Approximately 40 minutes
  • Servings: 1

Ingredients

--,1. 3 oz portion of fish (your choice ie: cod,tilapia, salmon etc)

--1 oz shrimp. (approx 3 shrimp)

--1 oz crabmeat ( lump or claw meat)

--sweet potato slices (approx 10 slices. I use my mandolin to slice VERY thin)

--summer squash(4 slices. I use frozen sliced squash)

--zucchini (3 slices. I use frozen sliced zucchini)

-- roasted red pepper ( optional, makes for a nice color contrast, or you can use fresh or frozen red, green or yellow bell peppers)

-- 1/2oz slivered almonds ( optional, if you don't mind the added protein)

-- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

--balsamic vinegar (optional)

--1piece of parchment paper 15" wide by 18" long. (you can also use foil wrap if you don't have parchment paper)

Directions

Just a note: for this recipe I keep bags of indivually packaged frozen tilapia and salmon. The tilapia is pre-weighed in 3oz portion and salmon in 4 oz portions. I always keep a bag of frozen shrimp handy so I can just take out the few I need. You can also buy frozen white lump crabmeat for the savings and convenience.( When I use cod I buy fresh.) This makes for a very quick and healthy meal in just minutes.

I SEASON EVERYTHING IN THE POUCH WITH OLD BAY SEAFOOD SEASONING. You can use any seasonings you wish.

--Lay out parchment paper on counter ( I put something on all four corners to keep it flat or it will roll up on you).

--place your sweet potatoes in a line in the center of the paper.Then in layers place the squash, zucchini,fish,shrimp,crab and red pepper.

-- drizzle olive oil over all the above

-- splash with balsamic vinegar to give an added zing to dish

Now for the sealing of the pouch: fold over the top of the parchment paper and fold down to make flat. Then roll the sides to make a sealed pouch.

-- transfer pouch to baking sheet

--cook at 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes

-- place pouch on plate and open carefully. Eat from pouch to enjoy all of the great juices inside.

When finished simply throw pouch away and you have little or no cleanup!!

Coach's Note: Please add one Protein if you use nuts.

This sounds great! It's still too much food for me (I'm only about 5 weeks out), so I would probably only eat about 1/2 of it. But that means more left-overs for the next day!

I'll give it a try on the weekend! Thanks!

I was wondering why you have the Protein at 5 grams. 3 oz of talapia contains 22 grams of Protein, 1 oz of shrimp has about 6 grams and the same for the crab according to myfitnesspal. I eat seafood all of the time and it is such a great protein. Knowing this makes this recipe even better...nearly 34 grams of protein, or 17 if you can only eat half a portion.

It sounds delicious!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
