Most types of fish are high in potassium. Here, grouper, which provides 822 milligrams in a six-ounce serving, is paired with a potassium-rich sauce made of roasted tomatoes for an entrée with more than 1,300 milligrams of potassium per serving.

Great recipe! I tweaked it slightly for my own liking but pretty much stuck to the recipe. Consider this alternative to "spice it up."

I added one chili pepper from from my garden to add some spice (which it definitely did), and I was short on tomatoes so I added 1 peach and used a garden (slicing) tomato (de-seeded). The only other thing I did differently was substitute balsamic vinegar for the red wine vinegar, which I think complimented the peach better.

Oh yeah, and I also kept a few pieces of tomoato, peach and red pepper out of the puree for garnishment, which made a big difference.

I liked this recipe overall, though it could benefit from a little tweaking. Made the sauce the night before so it was easy to throw everything together. I liked the method for cooking the fish. I think the sauce was good, really fresh tasting, I added extra red wine vinegar. Next time would add maybe 1/2 to 1 tbs of fresh lemon juice to brighten up.
