Pizza Fish

It's always hard coming home from vacation. But especially when that vacation was a total carbfest involving endless pizza and pasta (and I don't mean the zucchini crust and spaghetti squash types.) I'm not going to beat myself up over all the wine because 1) I was in ITALY and 2) It's part of my regular lifestyle. Hehe. However, I can certainly eliminate or at least significantly cut back on starch and grain.

That said I am still craving Italian style dishes so I searched for something reminiscent of the food I was eating on vacation but that wouldn't leave me feeling heavy and bloated. Which is a perfectly acceptable and even welcomed feeling when you're, say, sailing to Capri with a Peroni in hand but not so much when you're back to your "real life." Sigh.

Ingredients:
1lb white flaky fish (cod, haddock, halibut, bluefish)
4 tbsp tomato paste

1/4 cup grated parmesan
black pepper
