When it’s summer and hot outside, you just wanna eat something light, healthy and of course super delicious like this Carpaccio from Salmon with Oranges and Baked Bell Peppers.
-And, maybe with a side of some freshly baked baguettes with garlic/parsley butter?! ;o)
I love all kind of fish!
If fact, I grove up in a family where all my mom’s family members was -or has been fishermen in generations, so fresh fish was a big part of my weekly meals. I associate fish with magic; getting the fresh fish, preparing it and making a meal out of it in a split. Fish rarely takes more than 15 minutes to prepare!
And fish are not just healthy and rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, but American Heart Association also do recommend us all to eat fish at least twice a week to avoid cardiovascular diseases!
So jump into it, and serve this delicious course as a starter or as a light meal in the nice, warm summer heat.
Enjoy, and be happy to be (more?!) healthy!
