Roasted fish with Thai dipping sauce

Fish is always a great source of lean protein and is good for you, too. Jazz it up with some Asian-inspired ingredients.   


Roasted fish with Thai dipping sauce
Serves 4

1 lb. mild white fish fillets such as halibut, cod or tilapia (4 oz. each)
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Dipping sauce:
2 Tbsp. lime juice
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
1 Tbsp. brown sugar or honey
1 tsp. chili garlic sauce

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place fish on foil, skin side down. Sprinkle with pepper and gently pat into flesh.

2. Roast fish for 10—15 minutes or until fish is opaque in center and flakes easily with a fork.

3. Meanwhile, whisk dipping sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Serve in individual bowls for dipping, or drizzle over fish on a platter.
