Some Recipes!!!


Herb-crusted Blue Eye


You can use Barramundi, Salmon, Flathead, or any other kind of fish you like!
Serves 4; preparation time: 15 minutes, cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
2 Blue eye fillets, cut in half
1 cup breadcrumbs (wholegrain is best!)
2 cloves of garlic, crushed and finely chopped
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp Dijon mustard OR aioli


Method:
1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
2. Grease baking tray and line with baking paper. Place fish fillets on tray.
3. Combine breadcrumbs, herbs, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil in bowl and mix together till well combined.
4. Spread each fish fillet with Dijon mustard or aioli, and pat crumb mixture on the top of each fillet. Season with salt and
pepper.
5. Place in oven and bake for 10-15 minutes (don’t overcook though!)
6. Serve with a big plate of your favourite veggies, cooked to your liking. Steamed greens such as bok choy, broccoli and kale go particularly well, as well as cauliflower.

Anxiety busters: Fish contains vitamin B3 (Niacin), important in the anxiety-coping process. Using wholegrain breadcrumbs are lower-GI than white breadcrumbs, so they will keep your blood-sugar levels at a stable level and contain vitamin B1, which are known to reduce stress and anxiety. Broccoli, Bok choy, Kale and Cauliflower are all very high in calcium, which aids regular nerve communication during anxiety symptoms, and also may help lower blood pressure.
