Wild Caught Snapper with Wilted Greens
What's great about it
This is a glorious recipe featured in my new cookbook, Purely Delicious. A simple and classic recipe that takes just a few moments to prepare. Snapper is high in omega-3s that help support the health of every cell in the body. Fish is also low in saturated fat and it is a source of protein: the main function of the protein is to build and repair as well as sustain muscle. Also, fish is a good source of iodine that helps to support your thyroid which in turn helps to regulate metabolic rate.
