Easy peasy lemon squeezy. This dish is so easy and quick to make, and it is simply delicious.

The beauty about it, is that you can use any fish you in the mood for. Salmon or trout goes well with this recipe, but its expensive these days. I decided to use hake it turned out so yummy.

What is also great about this recipe is that it is a healthy alternative to frying your fish in breadcrumbs and it is relatively low in carbohydrates (depending on your butterbean portion).

With the hazel and walnut mixture, this dish nourishes you with oleic acid (unsaturated fats), as well as magnesium, manganese, calcium, vitamin B and vitamin E.  It is also filled with anti-oxidant stimulating compounds and helps reduce inflammation, improve cholesterol levels and cardiac risk.

The garlic is a quercetin containing compound, which helps to ‘switch on’ the master anti-oxidant regulator in the body, reducing cancer risk, improving health and longevity.

Fibre, fibre and more fibre. This butterbean mash is not only creamy, zesty and mouth-watering, but it is also very good for your gut health, cardiac health and they keep you satisfied and full. Not to forget, that butterbeans are also a good source of protein too.
