Variations:

The nutritional information for this recipe is based on the use of perch for the fish fillets. You may also like to try other lower fat fish varieties, such as blue eye, flake or ling.

If you would like to increase your intake of Omega 3 fatty acids, you can choose fish with a higher oil content, such as salmon or swordfish. While this may slightly increase your fat consumption for the day, rest assured that these fats have many health benefits.
