Lime Baked Haddock
Limes look like little green lemons, and they come from the same family as their bigger yellow cousins, but limes have a unique taste that enhances the fish in this dish.
Baking the fish directly on sliced limes is a healthy option because the pith— the white section between the flesh and rind—contains high amounts of limonene, a powerful phytonutrient. Limes can help reduce the risk of cancer and are an efficient detoxifier, important for kidney health.

Cooking Tip
Adding nuts to fish helps preserve moisture and infuses the fish with a lush, rich flavor. You can try cashews, walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, and any other favorite nuts until you hit upon the one that best suits your palate.
