Why is eating salmon healthy?
I try to eat fish at least once a week these days. How often do you eat fish? There are several reasons why eating salmon every week can be a good idea:
- Health benefits: salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamin D and minerals, such as selenium. These nutrients can help improve heart health, brain function and the immune system.
- Easy to prepare: salmon is a versatile fish that is easy to prepare. It can be grilled, baked, steamed or smoked, and what's more, it's also extremely quick to prepare. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
- Taste: salmon has a delicious taste and can be prepared in a variety of ways, making it a favorite of many people. And now so is mine. Fun fact: I didn't like salmon until two years ago haha. That was because I had basically only eaten it raw and I (still) just don't like that. But you can wake me up for a fried salmon, for example in this salmon curry with rice!
Salmon curry with rice
This salmon curry with rice is not only hearty, healthy and delicious, but it's also on the table within 20 minutes and is the ultimate flavor bomb that will make any salmon hater's mouth water. What's nice about this recipe is that you don't have to cut much for the curry itself. Just an onion! I use sugar snaps, mini corn cobs and spinach that you can add right into the pan. That makes this curry an easy meal. I always garnish my curries quite extensively with different toppings. For example, I went for parsley, sesame seeds, chili flakes, spring onion and red pepper. Of course, you are free to vary the toppings you use. For example, you can substitute the parsley for cilantro if you like it better. You could also cook the red pepper in the curry sauce itself. The possibilities are endless!
