(Sorry I have already posted this under nutrition as i'm new here and didn't see this category :/ )

Raw fish (salmon or cod mostly) cooked in lime juice with lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, onion and coriander with a side salad. it's my new love, it's so tasty and it's helping me get my five a day while not too high in calories. Sometimes i'll put prawns in as well if I have the calories free.

Has anyone else tried it? Or have a similar meal they have discovered that they are excited about? :)

    Love it too. Would love to visit Peru. Apparently a unique food culture due to high levels of traditional immigration from Japan. A real East meets West fusion.
  • “Thin slices of salmon lounge in a citrus, cilantro and garlic marinade for four hours before being served with chips or tostadas. Fresh ingredients are what makes this simple, easy dish amazing. The hardest part of it is the slicing and dicing. With minimal effort and no cooking you'll get rave reviews. This can just as easily pass for an appetizer in smaller portions.” I love it ❣

    I always marinate the fish for approx 5 minutes. I like it raw!

    My recipe is;
    Salmon
    Cod
    Prawns (small quantities of seafood)
    Red / yellow peppers
    Half an onion
    Lime
    Fresh coriander
    Salt
    Cracked black pepper
    Fresh chopped chilli

    and here's the perfect ending but this is only for special occasions...
    Coconut cream! only a VERY small amount but this is very tasty!!!! aw I wish I had more calories to play with lol nom nom
