Seared yellowtail with onions and tomatoes

This is one of my favorite new recipes!  Fish is a great source of protein that is also low in calories and low in fat...perfect for those on the weight loss regime.

When buying fish be sure to buy fresh not farmed.  Make sure that the fish does not smell fishy...big sign that the fish is old.  Flash frozen is another great way to buy fish.
