Last week we took a look at seafood and how it fits into Dr. Weil’s Anti-Inflammatory Pyramid. This week, we are presenting a WEIL Nutrition Corner® VIP follow-up: Your Guide to Grilling Seafood!

Grilling seafood is a simple, flavorful way to prepare fish while preserving its protein, omega-3 fats, and trace minerals. With a few smart choices, you can maximize nutritional benefits while minimizing potential downsides.

This quick-cooking method helps preserve delicate fats like omega-3s, requires minimal added fat, and enhances flavor. Read on for our insight into:

  • Grilling Tools For Easy Cooking

  • The Best And Worst Oils For Grilling

  • How to Avoid Carcinogens

  • How To Grill Specific Seafood

  • VIP Recipes: Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon with Sweet Soy Glaze, Grilled Shrimp And Veggies, and Grilled Fish with Tropical Relish

Grilling Tools

These tools can help make grilling easier.

Grilling Instant Thermometer. This takes the guesswork out of cooking by giving you an accurate internal temperature, so your seafood (or other items) are perfectly cooked - not underdone or overcooked.

OXO Grilling Set. A reliable set of grilling tools (like tongs and a spatula) makes it easier to handle delicate foods like fish and turn them safely without them falling apart.

Veggie Grilling Basket. Keeps smaller or flaky items - like vegetables or delicate seafood - from slipping through the grates, while allowing even cooking and that great grilled flavor.
