We all know that fish is a wonderful source of protein. Fish also contains natural omega-3 fatty acids that offer health benefits and help our bodies to function.
Getting more fish into our diet can be challenging. I try to incorporate seafood or fish into recipes about twice a week.
Gorton's Beer Battered Fish Fillets are the perfect addition for an easy weeknight dinner. Every family should have this frozen fish product in their freezer to make it easier for them to make seafood meals. You can use these fish fillets to make delicious recipes from tacos, burrito, burrito bowls, or even add them to a fresh salad! These fillets have no fillers, no preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors, no hydrogenated oils, and no antibiotics.
Gorton's Beer Battered Fish Fillets are made with sustainably wild-caught Alaska Pollock, are100% whole fillets and are naturally rich in omega-3's making them quite the catch! The fish fillets are absolutely delicious with a fresh yet filling taste.
Now, let's talk about the homemade cilantro-lime rice. This is another important ingredient to making a delicious burrito bowl. I cooked the cilantro-lime rice in a pressure cooker. It took 3 minutes at high pressure and naturally release for 10 minutes. The rice is flavorful, fragrant and refreshing.
To make cilantro-lime rice, you will need a good quality long grain rice, chicken broth or water, lime zest, lime juice, and fresh chopped cilantro. I am going to show you the complete cooking instructions on the recipe card below.
