1 thumb sized knob of ginger grated
Drizzle of Olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Handful of chopped coriander
Handful of chopped mint

Health Benefits:
When the fish is wild and caught in clean waters then the health benefits outweigh the risk of heavy metal intoxication. Turmeric is well known for the compound curcumin which gives turmeric its anti inflammatory qualities. It also improves blood circulation. Gingers antispasmodic properties calm the digestive system and together with the garlic, protects against unwanted viral, bacterial and parasitic organisms.
