Spicy Baked Pomfret With Vegetable Stir fried Brown Rice


In my previous posts Fish soup and Fish Biryani I mentioned about importance of Fish. Eating fish with high omega 3s twice a week is recommended for over all good health.Pregnant and nursing moms who eat fish high in omega 3s ,pass the nutrients to their babies which helps in supporting brain and eye development.Care has be taken about picking the fish with low the mercury .
For best tasting fish dish,buy fresh fish that smells like sea.The fresher the fish the less fishier it smells.Cooking with stale fish can leave your home with unwelcoming lingering odors ,particularly during this time of the year with doors and windows shut most of the time.Marinating the fish in turmeric can lessen the odors of the fish while cooking it.
Spicy Fish with vegetables and brown rice is a well balanced complete meal with protein ,omega 3s from fish;carbs ,vitamins and mineral from Vegetables and brown rice.This is my entry for Maryann's Seven Fishes Feast and Sangeeth's Eat healthy during Pregnancy.

baked fish looks perfect! I never tried baked or grilled fish though, I usually make fish fry, along with kerala rice, the grain of this kinda rice is like a pearl, and dal or fish curry and papad to go with it, but hey the baked fish can go well for south beach dieters right?
