Quick Diet Lunch: Poached Fish with a side of seasoned coleslaw and cantaloupe

Diet lunch ready in 10 minutes with poached fish fillets and a flavorful cole slaw with fruit

How To Make A Diet Lunch in 10 Minutes

Learn to poach fish or chicken in an aromatic broth and your lunch becomes easy to do, quick to accomplish and satisfying to eat.

Choose the best quality fish you can procure.  Fillet of Sole is what I poached today, but equally easy and delicious are halibut, cod fish, or any other wild caught fish.  Source the fish from the best fish monger in your area.  Cook it the same day you buy it and you’re on your way to a standard for your diet lunch.

Fill a 10” skillet half full of water. Add juice of a lemon (Meyer if you can find it), some best quality fresh ground tellicherry pepper and sea salt.  Season with a generous grating of lemon zest.  If you don’t own a microplane,  buy one today.  Makes releasing flavors a cinch.

Bring liquid to a boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer that barely causes the edges of the water to look opaque.

Use a slotted spoon to lower the fish fillets into the barely simmering water.  Cook just until the fish begins to look opaque.  That usually around 5 minutes, but never more than 10.

Lift the fish onto a warmed dinner plate.  Add a side of cooked or raw green salad and your lunch is ready.

Soon,  you’ll discover, as I have, that we’ve been burying terrifically flavorful fish in heavy sauces that simply murder the inherent flavor.  This is Keep It Clean cooking at its very best.

HCG Diet lunch #4 Coconut Shrimp over Coleslaw with Tomatoes, Cucumber and a Spritz of Meyer Lemon Juice

Forty Pounds in Forty Days HCG Diet Lunch #4

Coconut shrimp find its way to restaurant menus with a mind numbing frequency. However, if you buy plain shredded coconut (no sugar), tart it up with a bit of cayenne or Cajun seasoning, you have the basis for a knock your mouth off lunch that’s ready in 15 minutes. Serves 1 100 grams large peeled shrimp (about 6) 2 tablespoons plain shredded coconut Sprinkle of cayenne or Cajun seasoning 2 big handfuls of shredded cabbage OR coleslaw mix 4 berry tomatoes, halved 1/3 cucumber, peeled and chopped Tellicherry pepper and sea salt ground on top Generous squirt of Meyer lemon juice Heat the oven to 400˚ F. Rinse shrimp and place on a piece of parchment. Dredge shrimp in coconut and Cajun seasoning. Arrange on a baking pan one layer deep with sides not touching. Place in the hot oven. Cook 10 minutes, or until the edges are beginning to turn brown. Turn and roast the other side. Meanwhile arrange cabbage, tomatoes, cucumber, pepper and salt in a mixing bowl. Add lemon juice and toss. Arrange on a large dinner plate. Add cooked shrimp and serve at once. One of the best features of this meal is that you get both hot and cold temps on the plate, plus different textures, the sweetness of shrimp against the sour lemon flavor. This recipe just hits a home run and it’s so easy to make. I buy shrimp by the pound, cook and serve it 100 grams at a time, reserving the remains in a covered dish in the fridge. Works for me. I call the second serving the “free lunch”. Easy.
