- zest of a lemon
- juice from 1-1/2 lemons (about 3 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 red onipns, chopped

Directions:
Heat oil and butter on medium in a large skillet until it just starts to bubble. Add garlic and cook for a minute. Add enough shrimp to cook in a single layer. Cook until just opaque in the center, turning once, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add shrimp and gently combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours and up to 24 hours. To serve as an appetizer, place in dish lined with lettuce leaves and other vegetables, and mound shrimp on top. To serve as a main dish, arrange lettuce leaves on individual serving plates, mound shrimp on one side, and try serving with slices of cheese, fresh fruit and vegetables.

Low calorie salmon recipes are definitely a must for anyone not only looking to lose weight, but also to eat healthy.

Because the teriyaki sauce is so tangy and flavorful, it adds of lot of oomph to the orzo. Though this is not an official one of Weight Watchers Salmon Recipes, it’s definitely a healthy, low calorie meal idea for anyone watching their weight and trying to eat better. Enjoy!

Grilled Salmon Recipe with Teriyaki Sauce

Ingredients:
- 1 (16 ounce) skinless salmon fillet (1 inch thick)
- non-fat cooking spray
- 1 package of Miracle Noodle’s Orzo Pasta
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup dry sherry
- 2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
Combine the dry sherry, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, garlic powder, ground ginger and pepper in a shallow dish; stir well. Divide this mixture into half and set aside one half in a small bowl. With the other half of the mixture in the other bowl, add the fish; cover and marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Coat the grill rack with cooking spray; place on grill over medium-hot coals (350-400 degrees F). Remove the fish from the marinade. Place the fish on the grill rack or in a grill basket coated with cooking spray. Grill, uncovered, for about 5-7 minutes on each side (or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork). Transfer the fish to a platter and keep warm. Drain and rinse your package or orzo. Squeeze dry with a paper towel, until orzo is damp, but not soaking wet. Put pasta in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for about 2-3 minutes. Place the reserved marinade in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Boil for about 5 minutes (or until the marinade becomes thick and syrupy). To serve, put 1/3 of the orzo onto a plate, top with 1/3 of the salmon. Then, spoon 1/3 of the marinade over the fish and orzo pasta; serve immediately.

Fried fish sandwiches are SO incredibly good. But typically, they are dripping with grease and loaded with extra and unnecessary fat and calories. So when I found this Weight Watchers Fish Sandwich Recipe for the Momentum Plan, I was really excited to give it a try! I made a few alterations to it, knocked a whole Point off the original recipe and added more fiber. And it turned out really, really GOOD!!! It’s technically not “fried” – it’s a baked fish sandwich recipe. But it delivers a very similar (if not, better) taste and has a LOT less fat and calories. Plus the fact that it packs in so much protein and fiber makes it an excellent Momentum Recipe to incorporate into your Weight Watchers New Year’s Diet Plan! Serve it up with some tasty 1 Point Butternut Squash French Fries, and you’ve got yourself one AMAZINGLY yummy low Weight Watchers Points meal!

Ceviche is SO yummy! If you’ve never had it before, you are really missing out. Ceviche a form of citrus-marinated seafood dish, popular in mainly Latin American countries. No cooking is required for this dish, so it’s easy to prepare and is a great dish to make for a party or picnic. Ceviche is marinated in a citrus-based mixture, with lemons and limes being the most commonly used. In addition to adding flavor, the citric acid causes the proteins in the seafood to become denatured, which pickles or “cooks” the fish without heat. Traditional style Ceviche was marinated up to 3 hours. Modern style Ceviche usually has a very short marinating period. It’s super high in protein, yet very low in calories and Weight Watchers Points. And with all the veggies and lime juice, it’s incredibly healthy and high in antioxidants!
Though it’s most often served as an appetizer, I’ve prepared it as a main dish many times. It tastes so light and fresh, but is actually quite filling. And with just 5 Points, this is a great appetizer recipe that won’t break your Points bank. Give this Weight Watchers Ceviche recipe a try ASAP — you’ll be really glad you did!
