Low Carb Recipe for Zucchini Salsa over Fish Fillets

Chunky pieces of zucchini, the spicy salsa, and the soft undertones of fish makes this quick dinner worth the 15 minutes it took to make it and worth the 4 g net carbs to eat it.

1 pound fish fillets, thawed
2 tablespoons butter or substitute
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup salsa
1 zucchini cut into bite sized pieces

Place fish fillets onto a baking sheet. Brush with butter and sprinkle with black pepper. Bake in oven at 450F for 4-6 minutes for each 1/2 inch thickness of fish.

While fish is baking, in a sauce pan mix salsa, and zucchini. Bring to a boil, then turn down and cover. Cook until zucchini is tender but still crisp.

Serve salsa over fish.
