15-Minute Fish and Veggies

How often do you end up working late?  You get home, hurry to the gym, have an amazing work out, and by the time you reach home again, you're exhausted and starving?  The last thing you want to do is slave in the kitchen, and you especially don't feel like cleaning dishes!

How about some 15-Minute Fish and Veggies?  My go-to fish dish happens to be Gina's Broiled Fish with Garlic.  It's simple to make for one person (with some slight adaptations because I love garlic), and takes no time at all!

Broiled Fish with Garlic for One - 4 Points
Adapted from Gina's Weight Watchers Recipes - www.skinnytaste.com

  • 1 5-ounce fish fillet (I used Cream Snapper, which is similar to Tilapia - note that using different fish may alter the Points)
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Dried oregano
  • Dried parsley
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Kosher salt
  • Lemon wedges/slices
Preheat broiler.  Line a pan with aluminum foil.
Rinse fish and pat dry; place on foil.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste (I give a few good shakes).  Then sprinkle with oregano and parsley (Gina's recipe calls for a set amount, but I like to shake it on there to taste - depending on what I'm in the mood for).
Drizzle olive oil on top of fish, and top with garlic.
Broil for 7 minutes, or until cooked through; be careful not to overcook the fish.  Squeeze lemon juice over fish, and you're ready to eat dinner!

While your fish is broiling, saute some veggies on the stove for a quick and tasty side dish.  I chose to make Roni's version of Sugar Snap Peas (1 Point per cup), but you could use this technique for other vegetables, like asparagus or zucchini (these would be 0 Points).

Simply heat olive oil spray (I use Pam Olive Oil) over medium heat in a nonstick skillet.  Add sugar snap peas, sprinkle with Kosher salt, and toss regularly until cooked the way you like it!  So easy...and so good!
