It's time for today's sensible meal! If you are in the mood for fish then this is definitely one of the healthiest and tastiest options out there. If you are like me, you really do not want to be preparing two entirely different meals, for you and your family or friends. It takes way too much time. You can stay on your healthy diet while still preparing dinner for your family without the extra work.
Let's first talk about this delicious oven baked whiting fish fillet with spinach and purple cabbage salad and baked potato wedges.
What You Will Need:
Any fish or fish fillet of your choice
Seasonings (chopped bell peppers, onions, green onions (eskellion), thyme, whole garlic)
Organic/extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt or regular salt
Black pepper
Cayenne pepper
Three medium potatoes
Spinach
Purple cabbage
How To:
Wash your fish in white vinegar and water, pat dry with paper towel and add a pinch of kosher salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to each fish. Grease your baking tin with olive oil, put your fish in and bake at 370 degrees Fahrenheit in a preheated oven. To save on time you can peel and cut your potatoes into wedges. I usually cut one potato into 6 wedges. I then add olive oil to the potatoes in a bowl then add my cayenne pepper, kosher salt and black pepper. Mix it around with your hands to ensure the potatoes have enough seasoning. Add the potatoes to a separate baking tray and put them in the oven along with your fish. Leave in for 30 minutes. You can wash and chop your spinach and cabbage in the mean time for your salad. After 30 minutes you should take your potatoes out and flip them onto the other side. Add your seasonings to the fish and a little more olive oil if needed. Leave in for another 20 minutes then that's it. You also have the option of covering the fish with foil paper if you want more gravy. Your potatoes should come out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The fish should be a little crispy at the bottom and flaky at the top.
Sometimes that small portion might not be enough for some. In that case, you can add some rice. Usually I cook the rice while the fish is in the oven and sometimes I add coconut milk to the rice which is healthy and gives it a nice taste. I like to leave my salads raw like this. The purple cabbage adds a natural sweetness that goes really well with the entire dish.This entire meal literally takes one hour. Excluding ten minutes prep time. Usually I make enough for two nights of dinner. It is also a very affordable meal idea.
Remember, to be healthy, you have to eat healthy.
