 For a different approach to dinner, try cooking a seafood main dish. There is nothing better than the taste and quality of fresh seafood. A lot of people get turned off by the thought of having to prepare seafood and make an extravagant meal out of it. Instead of eating it only for special occasions, this low-fat meal is actually perfect weekday fare: it cooks up fast, stays moist and carries other flavors perfectly. Not only is seafood easy to cook with, it is a lean source of top-quality protein, and the health benefits of eating seafood make it one of the best choices for growing children, active adults, and the elderly.

 Try this honey glazed mahi mahi over jasmine rice. This simple, yet elegant presentation will surely delight your taste buds. The sweet and tangy flavor of this grilled fish is the perfect dish on a hot summer day.

Check out some fish markets and ask the store to fillet the fish for you, if you are unsure about cleaning and preparing a whole fish. Here are a couple of my favorite Los Angeles fish markets:
