With all the indulgent treats on offer at this time of year, it’s nice to scale things back and enjoy a simple, totally yummy dinner full of goodness.
While we all know how important fish is to our diet, especially when trying to lose weight and follow a healthy eating plan, it can be tricky to find new and interesting ways to prepare seafood.
None the less, it’s important to keep on keeping on when it comes to this sea dwelling staple.
High in protein and packed full of essential vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, fish, particularly white fish as featured in this recipe, is extremely low in calories, making it perfect for when we’re trying to shed a few kilograms.
Steaming, baking and grilling a fresh piece of fish are all great, diet friendly options for seafood, but what to top it with?
