From Fiona Haynes, your Guide to Low Fat Cooking
If you're looking for a low-fat, low-calorie, low-cholesterol food that's nutritious and delicious, then try scallops. Still on the subject of seafood, try a delicious shrimp, artichoke and edamame salad, which can be thrown together in no time.

Seared Scallops Over Wilted Spinach
Sea scallops are quick and easy to cook, but like shrimp, you must be careful not to overcook them. Frozen sea scallops work well here (I used Trader Joe's Jumbo Sea Scallops). Defrost them overnight in the refrigerator, then very gently squeeze and pat them dry before cooking.

Shrimp, Artichoke and Edamame Salad
Edamame, which are immature soybeans, have a terrific nutty, buttery taste. They also happen to be highly nutritious. You can find frozen shelled edamame at many grocery stores.

Lemon Parsley Chicken Breasts
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts get a bad rap. Sure, they can be dry and bland, but don't blame the chicken! There are plenty of ways to add some pizzazz to skinless chicken breasts without overwhelming them with pungent herbs and spices.

Chicken and Zucchini Lasagna
This a hearty yet low-fat lasagna dish the whole family will enjoy. Feel free to use lean ground turkey if lean ground chicken is not available.
