This time of year usually means one thing: We crave less light meals, like salads and fruits, and are more attracted to heavier, heartier meals. The only problem with those warm and comforting dishes is that they tend to be a bit more calorific, which can in turn have an impact on our waistlines.
Well, it might be time to put a stop to the winter weight gain cycle, and give yourself a chance for a different type of New Year's Resolution this year with a simple change in menu. Swapping out heaving proteins, such as beef or pork, for something lighter like fish can do the trick; and there will be no loss in satisfaction as fish is packed with flavor.

Fish will certainly satisfy the need for something warm and comforting on these cold nights and is also very versatile -- giving you a plethora of recipe options that you will not tire of eating. These 13 fish recipes are just the tip of iceberg when it comes to what you can do with this lean protein. Take them as a launching pad and personalize them to your tastes.

Fish Teriyaki With Sweet-And-Sour Cucumbers

This is a fairly classic take on teriyaki using broiled or grilled slices of fish. The small amount of sugar in the soy-based sauce caramelizes in the heat, creating a deliciously sticky glaze, yet keeping it a light option.



Grilled Rosemary-Salmon Spedini

If you can find them, use sturdy rosemary branches (stripped of leaves) as skewers for these Italian kebabs -- they impart a lovely flavor into the Salmon. Serve with a Greek salad and brown rice flavored with capers and fresh parsle.
