Google is my favorite recipe site. Almost anything can be made lower in calories if you know how to substitute/play with ingredient ratios. If I feel like having something specific and don't know how to cook it, I google it, pick the recipe that sounds most delicious, and make adjustments to it if needed. Things you can do to lower calories:
- Changing the cooking method (e.g baking vs deep frying)
- Changing the amount of fat used (e.g frying in 1 tsp of oil instead of 1 tbsp)
- Reasonable substitutions if you feel you would enjoy them (e.g Greek yogurt instead of mayo)
- Changing ingredient ratios (e.g more vegetables and less pasta in a pasta dish)
- Picking lower calorie ingredients (e.g lean cuts of meat vs fatty cuts)
... and some other ways that I can't think of right now.

If you can't get a dish that tastes good to you with substitutions and tweaks, there is always portion play. You could eat a smaller portion of that dish and double up on a lower calorie side to add volume.
