Note that, due to the shrimp and scallops, this is not a low-sodium dish. Thus, if you select this dish, you will need to be careful of your portion sizes and of the sodium level of the other dishes you select for your meal.
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 12-16 oz salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 12 oz scallops and/or shrimp
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 3 Tbsp flour
- 2 cups skim milk
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp Mrs Dash Original Seasoning blend
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil to medium high. Sauté the salmon 2 minutes, then add the scallops and continue to cook for 1 minute longer, and then add the shrimp and minced garlic and continue to cook for 3 minutes. (The salmon may fall apart some during cooking. This is ok.)
- Shake together or stir vigorously the flour, and milk in a medium bowl or jar. When the flour and milk is blended, add the Italian seasoning, and Mrs Dash to the milk mixture. Stir well. Add the mixture to the saucepan. Then cook and stir until thickened and just beginning to boil. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
- Serve over pasta.
