Every day healthy cooking is one of today's most debated food topics. Establishing good eating habits, with a balanced meal containing the required 5 a day fruit and vegetables is not always easy to achieve. This recipe ticks all the boxes by using an oily fish and a salsa that provides a wide selection of exotic fruits with different nutritional value.
Using the coconut cream only as a marinade gives the delicious taste of coconut without the fat.
