Nutritional values

This delicate fish dish has plenty of protein and includes the mineral iodine, which is important for the health of the thyroid gland. The crunchy zucchini also adds valuable potassium.

A portion of brown rice, quinoa, or millet goes very well as a side dish with this tender fish.

So simple but so good! I didn't have any wine on hand, so I diluted some wine vinegar in a little water and that worked perfectly. My husband doesn't even like zucchini much, but he loved this!

Great idea and perfect improvisation! You could also substitute with a little chicken or veggie broth and a dash of wine vinegar.
