High-Protein Seafood Recipes
High-protein seafood recipes: fish, shrimp, and the rest.
Seafood recipes here run 20g to 41g of protein per serving, from salmon and shrimp to canned tuna, and most of them are fast to get on the table, part of why seafood is worth reaching for more often than it usually gets used.
Shrimp and most white fish are lean, high-protein options with very little fat. Salmon carries more fat alongside a similar protein number.
