Chef's note: when I was shopping for ingredients, the halibut was a little pricey, and chicken breasts happened to be on sale. So if you're watching your grocery budget, you could easily swap in chicken or even turkey in favor of the fish. I also added 1 1/2 cups of black beans to the salsa. If you do that, the Points value increases to 5.
