Fish with Corn & Warm Lima Bean Salad

Corn provides your diet with folate, a B vitamin shown to reduce the risk of colon cancer. Avocado adds fat calories to this dish, but most of the fat is the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Season fish with 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) salt, plus black pepper and lemon zest. Place on a lined baking sheet skin-side down and bake 12 minutes, or until flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups (500 mL) water to a boil. Add corn and lima beans, and simmer just until tender, about three minutes. Drain and let cool.
  4. In a large bowl, gently toss together corn, lima beans, cherry tomatoes, avocado, bell pepper, green onion and parsley.
  5. For salad dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, white wine vinegar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add dressing to vege­tables and toss. Serve fish overtop salad.
