It’s the first “Fish Friday” of Lent, so the folks at Spice Islands sent me a few easy recipes to get you excited about cooking up some healthy, delicious fish.
Eating fish is a great way to naturally add omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least two times (two servings) a week. Each serving is 3.5 ounce cooked. (This recipe is two servings.) Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines and albacore tuna are especially high in omega-3s.
