Here is a Weight Watchers recipe (from "Turnaround Program Cookbook") that my husband & I like. I've fixed it for my parents & sister and they raved about it.
If you're a Weight Watchers member who counts points, this is 3 points. (I follow the Core Plan, and this is a Core recipe.)

It calls for halibut, which is pricey, but I've used cod. A friend who doesn't eat fish substituted chicken for the fish.

1 pound skinless halibut steaks
1 onion, sliced
1 garlic clove minced
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes (I use no salt added when I can find it)
1 tbsp drained, rinsed capers
5 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place the halibut in an 8-inch-square baking dish. (I spray w/ vegetable spray first.)
Spray a large nonstick skillet with olive oil nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, capers, olives, lemon juice, basil, oregano and pepper; bring to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 6 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Bake until the fish is just opaque in the center, about 10 minutes.

I serve this with sauce spooned over brown rice.

(don't know how substituting chicken for fish would affect nutritional analysis.)
 
Marsha,
Please tell me about capers. I've read that they're very salty; so would they be a no-no on a salt restricted diet? Do they have some sort of taste or just salty?
How long does your friend cook the chicken?
 
Mary:
They are salty -- that's why you rinse them. You could cut the amount to 1-2 teaspoons. There is no salt listed as an ingredient in this recipe. Only obvious sources of salt (sodium) are the olives, capers & tomatoes.
I have found no-salt-added diced tomatoes at Wal-mart.
