About the Recipe
I am proud to introduce Taylor’s Catch — a hearty, high-protein recipe my partner, Taylor, created after a day of fishing. This dish starts with fresh fish, which is an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins including B12 and D, all of which support muscle health, brain function, and overall well-being. Lightly battered in egg, each piece gets an extra protein boost along with choline, crucial for brain and liver health, plus a variety of essential amino acids. Adding a side salad with avocado completes the meal with healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and potassium, helping to keep you satisfied while supporting heart health and balancing blood sugar levels. Together, these ingredients make Taylor’s Catch the ultimate keto-friendly, nutrient-dense meal, perfect for those who love fresh, whole foods with a clean and filling finish!

Ingredients
For the Fish:
2 snapper filet (or your desired fish)
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 tsp fresh basil
For the Salad:
1 avocado, diced
1 cup lettuce, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cucumber, diced
¼ red onion, thinly diced
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
For the Salad Dressing:
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Juice from 1 lemon
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 ½ tsp wholegrain mustard
1 garlic clove, crushed
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Step 1
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Add the chopped basil for extra flavor. Dip each fish filet into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the egg-battered filets in the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. Once the fish is cooked on both sides, add the excess egg mixture to the pan. Once the egg is cooked, remove from heat
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly diced red onion, and pumpkin seeds.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 5
Serve the cooked fish alongside the fresh salad, and enjoy this delicious, high-protein meal! If desired, serve with steamed rice or roasted vegetables. (be aware that rice is not apart of the keto diet)
