Lovers of fried fish get the taste without all the calories, and the salsa adds a fresh, clean note. To complete the Baja theme, serve with black beans, some diced mango and a bit of light sour cream.


READER'S COMMENT:
"This recipe is perfectly portioned and tastes awesome! My only caution would be to add more oil because my "non-stick" skillet is pretty old! "
