Broiled Marinated Whiting

With a big salad and some crusty bread for the carb-eaters, this makes a nice, simple supper.

YIELD: 3 servings, each with just over 1 gram of carbohydrates, no fiber, and 34 grams of protein.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 6 whiting fillets

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
2. Place the fillets in a large, zipper-lock bag, and pour in the oil mixture. Refrigerate for several hours, turning the bag over from time to time.
3. Remove the fish from the marinade. Broil about 8 inches from the heat, for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or cook on a stove top grill.
4. While the fish is cooking, put the leftover marinade in a saucepan and boil it briefly, then served it as a sauce.

NOTE:

•  If you’re in a hurry or you just don’t have all the ingredients to make this dish, use 3/4 cup of store-bought vinaigrette dressing, instead.
