A "not flat" white fish!
For a change from the classic white fish, here's a version pimper both in terms of taste and fiber content.
A blend of Tex-Mex spices and flax seeds as a garnish.
Flaxseed-crusted fish
Yes, yes, I promise, no aftertaste, but you can be sure that your intestinal bacteria will love it!
Flaxseed is the third richest in fiber, with 1.9 g of total fiber per 15 ml serving, the majority of which is in insoluble form, promoting intestinal transit. It is also the richest in plant-based omega-3s. And it's the third richest in protein!
To add one more, flaxseed is a high source of lignans, a group of polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. So flaxseed is beneficial for most spheres of health, from digestive health to cardiovascular health.
