Baked Fish and Veggies

[mific]

This is my current go-to quickie meal. (serves 1)

Components:

• Good quality crumbed frozen fish fillets - locally we have some nice hoki fillets covered in 'wholemeal' crumbs which are GF.
• Either: half a bag of prepackaged coleslaw, or 
• Assorted veggies cut up to bake in the oven. I usually go with carrots, cauli, broccoli, red capsicum, onion, several garlic cloves. 

Directions:
Either bake the crumbed fish alone according to package instructions (mine is a piece the size of my hand, baked for 15 min per side) or surrounded by the veggies. Spray the veggies with cooking oil (I use an olive oil spray) and sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper. For both fish and veggies 30 min is about the right amount of baking.

If having with coleslaw, toss that in a large bowl with dressing of your choice. I alternate between mayo and peanut sauce. Can add extras to the coleslaw if desired, like grated cheese or chopped tomatoes. 

Serve, with dressing of choice for the fish, or just salt, pepper and lemon juice. I often make a hot Marie Rose dressing i.e. mayo, keto tomato sauce and a squirt of sriracha sauce. 

Fast and delicious, and moderately keto although the crumbed coating isn't. But I can't get good frozen fish locally for baking that isn't crumbed.

I have found fish filets in my frozen section - usually cod or salmon, individually quick frozen (IQF) and for not terrible prices. I do live in a coastal state, so that might be part of it.

(What type of grocery stores do you have?)
