Speaking of health, most of us don't take our daily nutrients intake properly. We do get our vitamins and minerals dose through fruits, vegetables and other foods, but we usually miss omega-3 fatty acids, for this major reason, I eat fish (of course for the taste also). Fish is low in calories, high on protein and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. This recipe is simple, easy and quick to cook. Enjoy this tangy fish as a snack or as meal. Hope you like it!!!
