Health Tip:  Seafood can often be contaminated with heavy metals;however, fish is high in selenium which helps block many toxic metals from affecting the body.  Cilantro is also a good herb to add to any fish recipe.  Cilantro adds great flavor and may help chelete (bind to and eliminate) heavy metals from the body including mercury, lead, and aluminum (1,2,3,4,5).

You can serve it with your favorite vegetable and healthy fats such as raw olives or avocados.
