I try to schedule appointments for my son after school, so he won’t have to miss classes. But this then means that we get home right at dinner time on those days. So, I’ve either got to get something in the oven before I leave, or I have to have a plan for something fast. That can be hard to do when you don’t have much in the house!

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a small saucepan. Add one can mango nectar (9.6 ounces), 1 tbsp lime juice, and a little salt. Bring to a boil and then let it sit on medium low until it condenses to a thick syrup (about half an hour). Stir in 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro and 1 tbsp heavy cream. Pour over the fish. Easy, no fuss and truly delicious!
