I am cooking dinner for my family and grandparents on Easter. I'm going to be baking a ham, but the salt content won't be good for my grandfather, who is on dialysis three times a week.
Does anyone know of a good recipe for a main course for him? I've thought meatloaf, but that seems a bit plain. He is NOT a chicken fan, so please nothing with that (unless you think it's really good or a unique recipe). Beef or fish could work...
I'm going to be doing salad, vegetables, etc. for the dinner, so there will be plenty of things for him to eat otherwise.
Thanks for the help!

Ok, if you are making vegetables other than salad, either buy no salt cans or use fresh or frozen. Canned vegetables have very high salt content. Gravy is also high in salt content, although I'm not sure what gives it the salt content. I would guess the bouillion...I know there is low sodium bouillion available, you might want to look into that.
Chicken would have been my top suggestion but if he isn't a chicken fan I guess that wouldn't work.
That is a tough one, I dont know how you could spice up hamburger meat for him, because spaghetti sauce and cheese both have salt content.
Here's a recipe for boneless chicken breasts that I love (I dont like plain oven baked chicken one bit).
Baked Herbed Chicken Breasts
8 boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon parsley, dried
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon sweet basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Combine all spices. (all ingredients except first two-chicken and butter.).
Arrange chicken in shallow baking dish. Melt butter and pour over chicken.
Turn chicken pieces over so both sides are coated with butter. (I use a tongs for this.).
Sprinkle chicken with about 1/4 of the spices.
Every 10-15 minutes, sprinkle another 1/4 of the spices on the chicken pieces.
Bake at 375 for 55 minutes

Its a tradition in my family to eat lamb on Easter for the symbolism. Lamb also does not have the salt like ham has. It's healthier for everyone.
A salad will work well. He has to be careful not to eat anything that has a high amount of phosphorus.
Although salmon is delicous and healthy to me its not an Easter dish. Thats just my personal bias.
The following websites should be helpful.

A nice salmon dish - just buy the frozen individual wrapped portions in the grocery and let them defrost. Turn the oven to 350, rinse the fish, put it into a casserole dish with a couple of cloves of chopped garlic. stir about a quarter cup of o.j. and an eighth of a cup of pancake or maple syrup together, then pour it over the fish. Shake on a dash of old bay seasoning, cover it and throw it in the oven for twenty minutes. Then, uncover, scrape that weird white stuff (the fat) off the top of the fillet, and you're done!

If he is not on fluid restrictions the salad will be OK.But if he is restricted then the lettuce is a no-no.I would take and grill him a small steak.Their diet can be so restricted so I think the steak should take care of the main dish.Is he on low potassium?You can make him his own potatoes by cutting them up and soaking them in water over night,then rinse and cook.That is a great question and I like that his meal matters to you.Have a great Easter and good luck with the food.

Hi!! that is VERY great that you are making a kidney friendly dinner, i would suggest making the enitre meal for the whole family renal friendly. i was previously on dialysis and struggled when my family got together and got to eat all the good things i wasnt allowed! :( google davita online, there are TONS of recipes on there that are friendly for hemo or peritoneal dialysis patients as well as renal-diabetic diets! they really are suprisingly good!
cheers! btw.. i just got a transplant and am 22 years old, so i know what grandpa is going through! thank you for supporting him! its a struggle! :D
