Use red snapper, sole or any boneless variety you prefer. Fish is an excellent source of protein. Do not overcook fish as it becomes tough and stringy. Use as little oil as possible to pan fry to keep fat intake to a minimum.
Serves: 2 people
2 fish fillet (sole or threadfin)
1 small head broccoli (cut into small florets)
4 - 6 baby potatoes
5 - 6 fresh button mushrooms (washed and sliced)
1 tablespoon margarine OR
2 tablespoons soya bean oil
150 ml chicken stock (pre-seasoned)
50 ml milk (skimmed / low fat)
