If life gives you lemons, add some Kanpachi (Amberjack) and make an easy dinner for the family tonight!
I try to come up with simple, easy recipes that everyone can make in their own kitchen. They taste fabulous and are healthy for you. For me, health begins with your food choices, and for me the less processed the food items are the better they are for me and my family. Plus when you buy fresh, wholesome foods, you have a better idea what is actually in them. Hopefully no preservatives, colorants or chemical additives to add shelf life or artificial flavors.
So what could be simpler than taking fresh fish, fresh lemons, fresh garlic, extra virgin olive oil, some spices and at the last minute adding freshly chopped parsley? Anyone can make this easy yet surprisingly tasty treat for dinner tonight.
So why add lemons?
Lemons go well with any kind of seafood, especially fish. But more importantly, they have many health benefits on the outside and inside. Lemons supply a wonderful dose of Vitamin C into your diet, which is needed to protect us from cell damage and to help repair injuries. Along with potassium which is needed for nerve-muscle communication, which transport nutrients and waste and help blood pressure regulation. Lemons contain phytonutrients which may prevent cell damage from oxidation. The acid in lemons may be especially helpful in supplementing stomach acid levels, which tend to decline as we age. You can get all these benefits and more from the zest, juice or the segments of your lemon.
