"Butter" Herb Baked Fish - 3 points

I mentioned that I made my sourdough cornbread to accompany some baked fish – but I left you hanging on the fish recipe. This is a recipe I have used for a long time, but with a major change. In my pre Weight Watchers days, I used to melt 1/3 cup butter in a cake pan and then place the fish in the butter to bake. I had serious doubts about making the fish without the real butter, but I bravely gave it a try. I was so pleased with the results! The flavor was rich and the fish was perfectly flaky. I didn’t miss the butter at all.

I am so excited that my Joe for Jack came today! I really wanted to go ahead and try some tonight, but I am forcing myself to wait until morning. After all, I do want to get a little bit of sleep!
