This is a pan fried fish recipe so is best made with thin fish fillets. Use your fish of choice – anything suitable for cooking on the stove!
Fish with Salsa
The first official RecipeTin LITE recipe!!! Recipes that fall into this category are healthy meals that are less than 500 calories for the complete meal. The majority of the dinner meals I share are less than 500 calories a serving but that’s usually excluding the sides like rice or bread that it is served with. So RecipeTin LITE recipes will be quite different in that they are less than 500 calories for the entire plate of food you see – sides and all. Healthy – without compromising on flavour. No hunting down unusual ingredients, no substituting real sugar with artificial sugar, no package mixes, no plastic diet cheese.
This is a quick healthy fish recipe that’s full of fresh flavours!
This Fish with Salsa is fresh, healthy, light yet full of flavour. The sort of meal I make when I’m short on time – a quick pan fried fish fillet topped with some sort of salsa on top – a spicy Italian tomato salsa in this case.
Salsa for Fish
This healthy fish recipe is topped with tomato salsa, and the juices from the tomato forms the dressing. We season the tomato with salt then leave it for a good 20 minutes or so before spooning it over the fish. This serves 2 purposes:
A quick, healthy fish recipe
Excluding the time the salsa is set aside to sweat, this Fish with Salsa is a super fast meal – 5 minutes of prep, 10 minutes to cook. So this is low on calories – 420 calories for this entire plate including 2 slices of bread (which are essential for mopping up the juices!) – healthy, light, bursting with fresh flavour and super quick to prepare. Ticks all my boxes! – Nagi x PS If you want to get fancy, call this Pesce Con Salsa Piccante which is Italian for “Fish with Spicy Salsa”! PPS. For another great, light Italian fish dish try Acqua Pazza (Italian-style poached fish).
