MEXICAN FISH with no sugar and low GI

MEXICAN FISH #lowgi #healthyfood perfect for lunch My teenage daughter is increasingly refusing to eat white fish. And I love it... So, to trick her, I hid it and flavored it with Mexican spices so she wouldn't notice it too much. The fish was tender, you could almost mistake it for chicken.
