This is an ideal option for those looking to manage their weight. Fish are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, known for their anti-inflammatory effects and heart health benefits. They also provide high-quality protein, which is essential for preserving lean muscle mass, especially during calorie-restricted diets. Finally, the vegetables in this dish offer a good dose of vitamin C, further supporting a healthy immune system.
