About Fish in green sauce

Fish in Green Sauce is a flavorful dish that typically features tender white fish, such as cod or tilapia, simmered in a vibrant green sauce made from fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, and spinach. Originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisines, the sauce may also include garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and occasionally white wine for added depth. This dish is considered nutrient-rich, as the fish provides high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D, while the greens contribute antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C. The use of olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. However, its healthiness can vary depending on preparation; excessive salt or heavy cream, if added, could increase sodium and saturated fat content. Fish in Green Sauce is a versatile option that pairs well with steamed vegetables or whole grains for a balanced meal.
