Salmon accompanied with blueberry salad.


The bottom picture is Haddock. The top is Salmon. Just make what you prefer!

Ingredients
  • salmon fillets
  • leek
  • frozen vegetables
  • blueberries
  • coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup tomato juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Start by preheating the oven at 300 degrees F (150 Celsius).  Cut your salmon fillets to your desired size and place in your cookware along with 1/2 cup tomato juice, 1 tablespoons olive oil and some cut up leek.

We put half a can coconut milk (condensed, not the watered down stuff) with frozen veggies and a handfull of blueberries in a pot and put it to warm up a little. The coconut milk gets that blue hue from the blueberries as well as a distinct aroma. It's such a good combination.

Meanwhile put the salmon in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes in 300 degrees F.

If your vegetables are thawed then you wont need to leave them as long in the pot. Be the judge and do the taste test. Get the pot off the burner when you think it tastes best.

And that's it. Simple and fast and absolutely delicious.

Curry Salmon with Vegetables.

Today we made delicious salmon fillets on a bed of greens, with some curry powder for the taste.
Salmon is one of the healthiest fish to eat.
When you cook it never throw away the oils left behind in your cookware before that oil is full of omega 3's!

Omega 3 helps with inflammation, reduce risk of heart disease, help with brain and memory performance, lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, lupus, osteoporosis, depression, asthma... the list goes on and on! It also helps in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

The point is, the fatty acid known as omega 3 is ESSENTIAL for our health and since our own bodies cannot naturally produce it, we have to ingest it through supplements and food.

What better way to have some omega 3's than salmon?

Go on ahead and read the recipe!

Ingredients for 2 portions
  • 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 3 large celery stalks
  • 6 asparagus
  • 1 whole leek
Instructions

Start by preheating your oven at 350 degrees Farenheit.

Chop up you celery and leek (the leaves too!)  and place them in your cookware, place the asparagus (whole) in it as well.
Place your salmon fillets in .

Juice the lemon, and pour the juice along with pulp on top of your greens and salmon.

Put the water, olive oil, curry powder in and stir it all together in a separate bowl. When thouroughly mixed, pour it all over the salmon and greens.

Place in the pre-heated oven for 30 minutes or until cooked.

You can test if your salmon is ready by sticking a fork/knife in the flesh and if it flakes, it's done.

Take it out and place it in a plate, along with all the juices left at the bottom of your cookware, and cut up a red bell pepper, serving it together with the salmon.

Done!

Hope you like this one. It tasted divine!

I leave you with some more photos of the dish. Have a great day :)
See all the juice at the bottom of the plate? You can soak you salmon in them, it's great!
