This recipe is from the Heart Disease:  I’m Afraid Of A Broken Heart Chapter.  To help prevent heart disease, it is important to include less fatty proteins in the diet like fish. Blackened Fish creates the best of both worlds with amazing flavor and health benefits!  I’m thrilled to share this man’s health cookbook as it is dear to my heart for so many reasons.  There’s not another book that gives you delicious recipes with a men’s health focus.

My Cajun Blackened Fish recipe shows that eating a diabetic-friendly diet is easy to do.  I highlight diabetic-friendly recipes in Guy’s Guide To Eating Well and this is my favorite diabetic fish recipe in the book. This men’s health cookbook includes so many diabetic recipes that you can consider this an easy diabetic cookbook.  Other benefits of this fish recipe is that it is gluten-free and dairy-free. So many people have food intolerances now a days, so I make sure to include gluten-free and dairy-free recipes in all of my cookbooks. Skip the tummy ache and try my Blackened Fish and pair it with my Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries that perfectly complements the blackened seasoned fish.
