Whether you are hosting for the Big Game or bringing something to pass, you won't want to derail all of your hard work for the sake of one day typically known for high calorie consumption.  If you are looking for healthier versions or alternatives, try our Onion RingsBell Pepper Bites, or MWLC Guacamole or Hickory Smoked Fish Spread.

Hickory Smoked Fish Spread

Servings:
1 Protein
1 Dairy

For Freedom Meal Plans 1-4 and 6-7 Only.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup Hickory Chips
1 serving White Fish, skinned, boned, and cut into chunks
1 serving Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Tbs. Fresh Chives, diced
Smoked Paprika, to taste
Salt-free Chipotle Seasoning, to taste

Preparation:
Place hickory chips in the center of the bottom of a large pan (large enough for your steamer basket or metal colander) and then place steamer basket or colander on top.

Arrange the fish chunks on the steamer basket or colander and then close the pot tightly with a lid or foil. Place the pot on the stove and cook over high heat until there is a steady stream of smoke coming from the pot, about 5-8 minutes. Decrease the heat to low and cook for five more minutes.

To make the spread, mix the smoked fish, ½ of the yogurt, and the chives in a small bowl, using the fork to break up the fish chunks until everything is well combined. Add the other ½ of yogurt as needed to obtain your desired consistency. Then, sprinkle the top with smoked paprika and chipotle spice. Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve
