One of the keys to creating healthy, yet enjoyable meals is learning how to add flavour through using naturally flavoursome whole foods. Foods like chilli, lime and coconut contain beautiful natural flavour that can really enhance a meal.
This dish was inspired by my favourite flavour combinations as a way to make my regular fish and greens dinner just that little bit more exciting. It turned out to be a winner, with even my kids saying: “Mum we love this sauce, it makes the vegetables taste good.” I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
