Sweet balsamic glazed salmon


IMG_4922I guarantee you it’s the only way you will ever make your salmon from now on. The sweet and tangy flavors blend together to give you this flavorful salmon.

Beside of having a quick meal, ready on your table within 20 mns, you will be enjoying a sustaining dish full of nutrients, such as the amazing omega-3, vitamin B3, B6 and B12, protein and vitamin D.

Bottom line, eating salmon makes you smarter and happier!

IMG_4898To make the glaze you will need:

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • salt to taste

Mix all ingredients and bring to boil for 5 minutes to thicken.

Place 4 pieces of salmon (each 200g) skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cooking in baking papers keeps the fish deliciously moist as it bakes in its own juices, minimal cleanup needed later and it’s definitely more healthy than aluminium foil.

Brush with the glaze, bake for 10 minutes in the oven on 200°C, brush again with the glaze then bake uncovered for 5 additional minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

Transfer to your plate, you will see the skin will remain easily on the baking paper, add the remaining glaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with potatoes, rice or pasta. This quantity serves 4 people.

beetroot and goat cheese salad


beetroot and goat cheese saladWant to beat a hangover? Try this salad with beetroot.

Beetroots are known to be a hangover cure due to Beta cyanin, the pigment that gives its colour.

Beta cyanin is an antioxidant that speeds up detoxification in your liver, which enables your body to turn the alcohol into a less harmful substance that can be excreted quicker than normal.

This without forgetting that rocket is a detoxifying and pine seeds are an excellent source of energy. I would call this, a power salad!

Ingredients:

  • rocket leaves
  • goat cheese
  • beetroot
  • pine seeds

You can have it with either balsamic sauce or lemon mayo.

I wish you a life full of energy!
