Weight Watchers Friendly Cuban Style Fish

Skinny on Weight Watchers Friendly Cuban Style Fish

The original recipe called for Sea Bass; however any kind of mild white fish will work. I tried it once using frozen pollock and will us Alaskan halibut next time since it was on special at the local grocery store!

To lighten this up just a tad I cut back a little on the butter and olive oil, which you shouldn’t even notice since the dish is so full of flavor from all the other ingredients.

According to my calculations each serving has 254 calories, *6 Weight Watchers PointsPlus, *4 SmartPoints, *3 Freestyle SmartPoints

Enjoy!
