Healthy and Simple Recipes ● Marinated Salmon with Cold Pea and Lemon Purée

This recipe is a tasty staple that already smells like Summer!

With salmon, rich in omega-3, it has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, aids in cell regeneration, protects the skin, and supports the nervous system.

By marinating it with lemon, ginger, and fresh herbs, the flavor intensifies without the need for cooking, keeping the nutrients intact. Accompanied by a cold pea purée with a citrus touch, this dish balances flavor, texture, and freshness — ideal for days when all you want is something light yet nutritious.

• Ingredients for the marinated salmon:
  
  • 200 g of raw salmon loin, very fresh and skinless
    
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
  • Lemon zest
  • Fresh chopped coriander or mint
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Juice of ½ lemon

• PREPARATION

1. Cut the salmon into medium cubes and coat with all the marinade ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.
   

2. Blend the peas with the remaining ingredients until you get a creamy purée. Adjust the salt and acidity, adding a little water if necessary to make it lighter.

3. Serve the cold purée as a base on a plate and arrange the marinated salmon on top. Finish with fresh leaves, lemon zest, or toasted seeds, if desired.

This recipe combines the richness of the salmon's omega-3s with the lightness and freshness of the peas and aromatic herbs. A simple, balanced dish that is good for you — for your body, your digestion, and your palate.
