Fresh fish is not often seen on our dinner table. But after developing this recipe and cooking it with freshly caught fish by my brother-in-law , I think it might become a staple!
Fish is high in protein and the most easily absorbable protein too. So if you need to increase your protein and your digestion is not yet 100%, then fish is a great way to boost your levels. It is also rich in many other nutrients including omega 3’s and minerals like iodine (if it is salt-water fish, like snapper is)
Enjoy this quick and easy to prepare fish for dinner tonight!
