This is a very simple yet delicious recipe that can be made with basic ingredients. The idea is not to make healthy cooking with whole foods a tedious process but, to be able to easily incorporate it into your daily cooking. In most of my recipes I try to keep the ingredients simple and easy to follow. However, I am particular about the source as eating clean ingredients are imperative for our health and wellbeing.
In this recipe I have used sustainably sourced Barramundi and Salmon with no antibiotics or hormones and farmed in pristine waters. Both fish are high in essential omega-3 fatty acids which are beneficial for heart health. Essential meaning that our body cannot create it so we have to get it from the food we eat or from supplements. Fatty fish like salmon, tuna and barramundi are high in marine omega-3 fatty acids. We should try to eat fish twice a week at least to obtain sufficient amounts of omega-3s in our diet.
Ingredients:
- 3 barramundi fillets and 1 salmon fillet (200 grams each)
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1 tsp red chilli flakes
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 5 garlic pods
- 1 fresh tomato
- 5 tbsp olive oil
Method:
- Quarter the fresh tomato
- Keep the garlic pods whole
- Dry the fillets and slice each one into two pieces
- Warm olive oil in a small saucepan
- Add whole garlic pods
- Add the capers, chilli flakes, black pepper and salt
- Cook on low fire until the garlic pods have turned golden
- Pour over the fish and scatter the pieces of tomato
- Grill at 250 C for 10 mins – 15 mins
- Serve with brown rice or wholewheat pasta
