In the meantime, grab a packet of McCains Microwave Potato Chips (or if you prefer, grill some low-fat potato chips; I use the microwave ones because they limit my quantity and I have the specific weight checkpoints for it) and cook according to directions. .
When there are 3 minutes left for the fish, put a tomato.
When the fish is ready, serve it on a plate with the tomato, the French fries and a couple of pickled onions; add salt and pepper and voila. A simple way to cook delicious and healthy fish in 5 minutes that adapts to any diet.
