From Minnie: Do you ever need to whip up something healthy and delicious in a hurry? Well, you can’t get much healthier or faster than this blackened fish! We made it tonight with “Green Trout” fillets that a friend brought us, but it can be made with just about any firm fish that has fillets about 1/2” to 3/4” thick.

This recipe is fantastic because it is filled with flavor, low in calories, easy as pie, quick as can be, and oh so good for you!!!

We always love a lot of fresh veggies and fruits with our meals, so some nice green beans, some sautéed mushrooms, a lovely green salad, and an orange coconut salad for dessert made for a wonderfully nutritious and yummy meal this evening! Omigosh, was it good! We cooked six fillets for the two of us (hoping there would be a couple left for hubby’s lunch tomorrow)…but no such luck! We ate all six and both of us said that we could have cooked and eaten the entire sack of 15 fillets our friend brought by — all at this meal! We will definitely cook the rest soon!

Where to Buy:

This would also be just as tasty on a sandwich or in a taco.

You might wish to add your favorite sauce over the fish, but we are watching our weight and loved it just the way it came out of the pan.
