General Tso’s Salmon By Naomi Nachman
This is an updated recipe for General Tso’s chicken, but
instead of using chicken, we use fish. It is much lighter in calories. To make it even lighter, you can first batter the fish and then bake it for 25 minutes at 350�F (instead of frying it)� then continue with the rest of the recipe.
