Turmeric Tomato Cod with Prawns

Turmeric Citrus Cod One day I got home, I tried this recipe for Turmeric Tomato Cod with Prawns for the first time ever. Actually the recipe was invented in the making! I went to the good fishmonger, and saw these completely fresh cod fillets. I tried to imagine what would suit the gorgeous cod except from lemon and mayonnaise. For the time being I’m a bit tired of Chunky Fried Fish, never thought that would happen though.
I bought turmeric and tomatoes and a handful of raw organic prawns, and when I stood at the stove, it just came to me! Recipe below!

Fried Salmon Dressed in Pancetta

salmon dressed pancetta Today I’ll show you how to make fried piece of salmon dressed in pancetta. The salmon and the pancetta are both very healthy sources of the fat we must have every day whilst following the LCHF lifestyle. I normally have a good portion of salad together with my fried salmon. Please find inspiration for the salads in My Super Simple Salad School.
Also if you miss the bread for your dinner both the Gorgeous Crispbread and the Almond Buns would be fantastic.
Buy a piece of salmon per person and thinly sliced pancetta. Then follow the instructions below.

Deep Frying Fish and Veggies

deep fried Just a few words about deep frying fish and veggies while working in an outdoor kitchen. When we’re in Andalusia we’re preparing most of our meals outside using the barbecue and the deep-fryer. This summer was no exception. We have an old induction stove and no oven in the kitchen in the house. We practically live at the terrace. The good news is that during the winter to come, we’re rebuilding the kitchen and installing a gas hob and an oven. In the future my summer recipes will reflect this and cover a wider range of meals. Until then, please find the recipes on deep frying fish and veggies, such as anchovies, aubergine, squid and red mullets. In case you don’t have access to deep frying food or if you find it difficult handling the oil, you can use a frying pan instead. Just ensure the oil goes 1/2 inch up, and turn your food around frequently.

A Tantalising Tuna Tartare

This tantalising tuna tartare is a wonderful new dish, which I recently had on a trip to Venice. It is a fantastic and at the same time a very simple recipe. Ensure to buy tuna that’s caught in a sustainable and respectable way. Ask your supplier or read this. Also tell your fish monger that you’ll use the tuna raw.

What is tantalising about this dish is the fabulous tuna with only a few other ingredients, that are sweet and savour. The tartare is prepared with complete respect for the love of the raw fish.

Sea-Bream Fillets with Pancetta-Shiitake Sauce

sea bream fillets This recipe for Sea-Bream Fillets with Pancetta-Shiitake Sauce is one of my favourite dishes. At the same time it’s so simple. You can make it within 15-20 minutes, if you have good things in your fridge for the sauce. In the picture above you can get an overview of the ingredients needed. If however, you don’t eat pork and therefore not pancetta either, you can continue without this ingredient. Just add a little more shiitake mushrooms. I reckon shrimps could replace the pancetta as well.
As the fillets are low fat (and low carb of course) you must add fat to the dish. Don’t get tempted to cut the fat away or just forget it, it’s your fuel and you’ll get hungry before midnight if you do so. Recipe below.

Citrus Juice Corvina Fillets

corvina citrus dish Try my Corvina fillets steamed in lemon and orange juice. This is a wonderful fish recipe for summer nights, inspired by Russell Norman, the author of “Polpo”. I owe him great thanks for this lovely recipe and for the entire cookbook, which inspires me a lot. You can use different kinds of fish for this recipe. Mr. Normann recommends stone bass fillets. I used corvina because the stone bass was sold out that day, and it turned out just marvellous!

Corvina is a generic name for a large variety of fish found all around the world, which all have in common that they are either Drum Fish or Croakers. The Corvina has a mild and sweet taste with firm, large flaked flesh, and is often used in ceviche.

Chunky Fried Fish

I love this Chunky Fried Fish! At our house we normally put the effort into the side dishes and the salads, because we usually fry a piece of meat, fish or chicken. In the summertime staying in Spain we do the same using a Weber gas barbecue. That’s why I love to figure out a new favourite food like I did with these chunky pieces of fish.
I can be very fickle when I am visiting the fishmonger. I don’t know what to buy. This time I bought a salmon fillet and a haddock fillet. Salmon is a great source of both omega 3 and vitamin D, and it is fat! Mackerel would do fine as well because of the high fat. It could have been hake or cod as well. Unfornately I only fancy mackerel when cold and smoked.
For this dish I just fried the chunky pieces in flavourless coconut oil and had the cabbalicious cabbage as a side. So easy! Recipe below.

The Fantastic Salmon Tartare Salad

This fantastic salmon tartare salad is super easy to prepare. Just make sure your piece of salmon stays in your freezer for 24 hours before using it raw. When you are going to do this dish, take the salmon out of the freezer in the morning, and put it in the fridge. This will ensure a slowly defrosting period which is the most gentle way to handle the salmon used for a raw salad.

When you come home in the afternoon it will still be slightly frozen, but very easy to cut into the tartare style. It will finally be nice and cold and completely defrosted when prepared with the other ingredients. Use a good strong knife for chopping and best if you have a plastic cutting board.

Maybe your fishmonger sells salmon that has already been frozen, and if so, you don’t have to do this again. It is often available due to the use of raw salmon for sushi dishes. You can ask him to take away the skin as well. You don’t need that for the Salmon Tartare Salad.

Ginger-Lime Marinated Fresh Salmon

This is my recipe for marinated fresh salmon with a mix of ginger, lime and oil. I loved the recipe even before I learned about LCHF. By the way, you can eat many traditionally recipes as long as you stick to the general LCHF advice;
Think clean, no additives, no light products, no preprocessed food, no sugar and no starch (bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, beans etc.) Maybe this is why my dinner recipes still are few on the blog. You can always easily prepare an LCHF dinner with a nice piece of fish or meat and a variety of vegetables. Add a good mayonnaise or butter and oil. Viola! Use your fantasy, and enjoy this lovely meal. No hurry.

A Cold Sword Fish Salad With Warm Creamed Spinach

This is a cold sword fish salad with warm creamed spinach mainly made of leftovers. If you have grilled or fryed fish for dinner, and you don’t eat everything, you should use your leftovers for this salad the next day. I had it for dinner, but it will be amazing for lunch as well. You must use a very firm fish as redfish, swordfish or tuna. I don’t think mackerel will do as it all will get too fatty. This recipe is for the fish salad only. Regarding the spinach as the side dish, please just put handful of raw spinach per person in a pot, evaporate for 2 minutes, pour away the water, add cream and salt and boil again for 1 minute. Add a little butter and serve. Voila!
