Low-GL Lunch: Fish

While at Sainsbury doing my fud shopping, I had a flash...'I'd have some fish tonight'. And here I go to the frozens...as I like to buy more and keep them in the freezer...while browsing, I get hit by another flash....why should I buy frozen and not fresh? ok, it might be a little more expensive...but I'm not going to buy for a whole battalion...

So here I go now to the fresh fish counter...scallops...salmon...huge prawns...trout...mmmmm...I am curious for a long time to find out how does the thing called 'haddock' taste like...I pick two fillets...and here I go now to cook it...

I remember how my mom was cooking the fillet at home....some onion and carrots, the fillets, some salt and pepper, olive oil drizzle and some wine (sorry, no white in stock, only some red) in the oven for maybe 20 mins at 200 degrees.

Meanwhile I think it would be nice to have some sauce over my smoked undyed haddock... blitz my chopped tomatoes with 2 cloves of garlic, and then heat them in a pan with olive oil, salt, pepper , thyme and basil...

Boil some whole basmati rice (60g no more for a portion)...

...and a huge salad - this time i bought a mix of watercress, spinach and rocket plus some normal salad for volume, one tomato and some green pepper, onion by default....salt, balsamic vinegar and a lil' olive oil....

Its effing low GL and unbelievably tasty....don't just believe me on this..try for yourself!...:-)

Low-GL Lunch: Fish plaki

serves 2

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for greasing
1 slice wholegrain or rye bread, crumbed
1xapprox 225g can chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 garlic clove crushed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
pinch cayenne or chilli pepper
freshly ground black pepper
350-400 firm white fish fillets, such as cod, haddock, or orange roughly

Preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4. Lightly oil an oven-proof dish.

Put the breadcrumbs, tomatoes, parley, garlic, lemon juice and cayenne or chilli pepper in a saucepan. Add black pepper to taste, then bring to the boil and simmer for a couple of minutes, stirring well.
Put the fish in the prepared dish, brush with oil and pour over the sauce. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is cooked through but still moist. Serve at once.

Serve with brown rice, or with a mash
