Simple Low Fat, Low Carb Broiled Haddock

Trying to lose weight is never easy.   Health experts advise not only to be conscious of the calories but also the nutrition that one gets from the dish.  I find eating fish meets this criteria as long it is done right.  This recipe, I found in the  Allrecipes website, relies on a combination of spices to give the haddock great flavor without resorting to high fat cheeses or exorbitant use of butter to make it taste good.  It does not use carb laden bread coating either.  This dish has only 4g fat and 2.2 g carbohydrates and yet it is utterly delicious and flavorful not to mention packed with protein, 37.4 grams per serving.
