Plated Halibut on Sweet Peppers

I once read never trust a “skinny chef.” Well, you can trust me by about forty extra pounds. Over the last year, I have been working on changing how this family eats.  With focused effort, I have lost 42lbs with about 44lbs to go.  When it comes to weightloss, for me , it’s all about proportion size of the food.  I grew-up with the parental dining rule that  ”there’s kids in other countries starving, so you better clean your plate.”

These days, I am a member of Weight Watchers and I go to my group meetings on Thursdays.  So I thought on Thursdays I would spotlight a meal that is very low in calories and fat, but also really delicious and simple to make. 
I hope you enjoy tonight’s meal: Roasted Halibut on a bed of Sweet Peppers with Avocado Sauce and Steamed Asparagus.

Recipes follow the pictures:

This sauce is insane on fish, shrimp or anything out of the ocean.  I haven’t had it on fresh water fish, yet.  It is so simple to make and it keeps for several days in the refrigerator, but it is best fresh…. All you need is a knife, cutting board and your food processor or blender.  Cheers!!!

• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 bunch of cilantro
• 2 avocados
• 1 clove of garlic

3. 3/4 of cilantro save rest for topping or garnish
