White fish is light and refreshing, and often enjoyed by many who don't love the "fishy" taste of seafood. The tomato-lime salsa tossed over the top of these fish fillets brings a bite that will wake up your taste buds!
Fish is one of the best sources of Omega-3 fats and vitamins and minerals like Vitamins A, C, E, and selenium.
People worry that consuming too much fish can lead to mercury poisoning. However, worry not - high levels of selenium in most fish naturally protect against mercury poisoning by binding to mercury and preventing the body from absorbing it.
Cooking white fish requires very little preparation and cooking time, so this is a great recipe if you're looking for a quick meal to get on the table.
This dish would be excellent paired with a side of vegetables or even a mash. If you're not a big fan of fish, you can use chicken and adjust the cooking times, then serve with the tomato-lime salsa on top!
