Health and fertility benefits of Citrus Mahi-Mahi Packet with Broccoli

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

1/2 lemon, juiced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 lemon, sliced
1 orange, sliced
2 mahi-mahi fillets (5 oz each)
1 head broccoli, cut into florets

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425° F. Place two pieces parchment paper on a baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, pepper and dill.
Place a few lemon and orange slices on center of parchment papers. Place fish fillets on top of orange and lemon slices. Drizzle lemon sauce evenly over fish fillets. Top fish with remaining orange and lemon slices. Fold over the top of the parchment paper, then roll the sides in to form a sealed pouch. 
Place packets on baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until done.
While fish is baking, steam broccoli for 5-6 minutes.
