Another Quick Meal with #RealSolutions from Gorton’s Artisan Filets

I received product and a cutting board from Gorton’s Artisan Filets in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own.

If you only try one of the Gorton’s new #RealSolutions Artisan Fillets, make sure you try the Southwest Tortilla. They are absolutely terrific. I love the crunch of the tortilla chips and the hint of chili in every bite. We paired them with a Mexican style rice and a simple avocado and tomato salad for quick and easy Southwestern inspired dinner.

I’ve been forced to change my attitude towards breaded and frozen fish fillets this week. Gorton’s Artisan Fillets have been a real treat and we’ve only tried two of the four varieties. In addition to the Southwest Tortilla fillets, we also paired Roasted Garlic & Italian Herb fillets with a great side dish of lemon basil zucchini noodles earlier in the week. At some point we’re going to have to try Lemon & Cracked Peppercorn and Southern Style.

Fish are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and it’s recommended that two servings a week should be consumed.

Rick absolutely loved the rice and actually went back for seconds which is unusual for him. The rice is cooked pilaf style in meat or vegetable broth. Tomato paste and smoky paprika give it a gorgeous color. Since the rice takes longer to prepare than the fillets, start the rice first while the oven is heating. Place the fish in the oven shortly after the rice has started simmering. They should finish about the same time.
