Okay, don't change the channel! I know this may sound odd. It wasn't the most appetizing thing I could think of either, but boy was I wrong! I will be making this often. It has tons of flavor, with more than decent nutrition facts. It's easy to make a "lean" portion for me and a "manly" portion for my husband, without a lot of extra work or food envy! haha (This happens to me a lot when I am forced to watch my husband eat whatever he wants, whenever he wants). I got the idea from sixsistersstuff.com and made it Legalicious with a few changes.
Serves: 3
Calories per serving: 225 (without optional items)
Ingredients:
3 4oz fillets tilapia, cod, or halibut
1 C salsa (Herdez is my favorite for this)
1/3 C low fat shredded cheddar cheese (I used Sargento)
9 Santitas (or equivalent) corn chips, crushed
lettuce
1/2 avocado (optional)
1/4 C plain greek yogurt (optional)
black beans (optional)
warm tortillas (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray a glass baking dish lightly with cooking spray. Pat the fish fillets dry, and lay them down in the pan. Then lay on the salsa! Use as much as you want, really. It gives the fish a lot of flavor and moisture with a negligible amount of added calories. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over each fillet. Then for the corn chips. Crush three chips over each fillet. These give the fish a light, but addicting crunch! Then slide your pan in the oven (uncovered), and bake fore 15-20 minutes. Serve over a bed of lettuce with some extra salsa and maybe even a little Kernel Season's Ranch seasoning :) (Available in the spice aisle at most grocery stores). If you feel like really going for it, throw the fish in a warm tortilla, add the avocado, Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream), and black beans to really get your taste buds going. I didn't think this needed anything extra and enjoyed mine "low carb" style. Up to you!
