Salmon Is A Great Ingredient For Many Easy Healthy Recipes

By: Jamie Francis Home | Food-and-Drink


We all know that there are certain foods which are healthier for you than others but sometimes it is hard to choose these options when you think they’re going to be less tasty and less satisfying and that is why it is really important that people know just how delicious and easy healthy recipes can be.

Basic principles apply to healthy eating such as knowing which meats and fishes are fattier and higher in cholesterol, eating a balanced diet and making sure we take in at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. It is no good starving yourself or just eating fruit and vegetables because the body can go into survival mode and store the fat you already have in your body in reserves making it extremely hard to shift.

Instead, think about the amount you are eating (on other words portion control) and make sure you are getting vitamins, good fats (found in things like nuts, seeds, avocado and oily fish), calcium, protein and carbohydrates. This doesn’t have to be complicated and once you know which foods fall into which food category you’ll be almost all the way to completely changing the way you see food and to a new and healthier you.

There are certain basic foods which can form the basis for many easy healthy recipes, ingredients such as salmon, chicken, brown rice and pasta and vegetables and choosing something like a salmon recipe instead of a recipe which is full of cheese, red meat or simple carbohydrates (such as sugar), can make the difference between feeling sluggish and low in energy after eating to feeling satisfied but full of energy and with glowing skin and healthy hair and nails. One great salmon recipe which is simple and easy as easy to cook for the whole family as it is to cook for you is salmon fillets with watercress and baby new potatoes.

Simply buy the right number of good quality salmon fillets and pan fry these in olive oil until the skin is crispy and the salmon is cooked through but still pink, this should take around four minutes on either side. Add lime juice for the last two or three minutes and serve with new potatoes and wilted watercress for a really tasty, delicious and healthy meal.

Easy healthy recipes are often based around salmon or chicken because these are naturally lean and low in fat and as long as they’re served with equally as healthy ingredients they can bring together fulfilling and hearty meals for the whole family.
