Here’s a quick, easy, on-the-go meal you can make midweek or anytime. Baked white fish topped with a delicious and super flavorful vegetable salsa.
After you chop up your veggies for the salsa, dinner will be on the table in minutes!
I used flounder in this recipe because I came across some nice fresh fillets, flounder is a delicate fish with delicate flakes but honestly any white fish will do.
Cod makes a wonderful substitute, as does grouper, halibut, and sole, to name a few. If the fish is thicker and denser, you may need to adjust the cooking time a bit, but otherwise the delicious results are the same.
The vegetable salsa is the shining star of this dish, the bright colors and vibrant flavors really make any fish you use shine.
Simply cover the uncooked fillets generously with the salsa and then let the oven do its magic.
The flavors will all blend together in great harmony.
Such light, healthy, colorful and good food, enjoy!
