Minced salmon with broccoli

Sometimes the simple things in life can be the best. This easy recipe is proof to this statement.

Makes 4 servings.

 

What do you need?

  • 500 grams of minced salmon (I buy it in the frozen products section)

  • 2 packets (=2*400 grams) of frozen broccoli

  • salt, pepper and fish seasoning

 

How to make it?

First of all, take your salmon and broccoli out of the fridge some hours before cooking. I usually take mine out the night before or in the morning if I’m making this for dinner. 

Get cooking! Take a pot with water and get that boiling. Also, preheat a pan to medium high heat. 

Once the water is boiling, add in some salt and the broccoli. Let that cook until the broccoli is nice and soft. 

Meanwhile, your pan is ready to fry the salmon. Add in your minced salmon and season with salt, pepper and fish seasonings (I buy a salt-less herb mixture for fish at my grocery store, it should be available in most stores). Break up the salmon, so that there are no big lumps. I find that there is a lot of fat in the minced salmon and I don’t need any oil for cooking it.

Drain your broccoli and add to the salmon. Mix really well and let everything heat through for another 5 minutes or so. Now your dish is ready to be served.

Bon appetit!

 

What about nutrition?

The whole recipe is 1570 kcal, 134 grams of protein, 40 grams of total carbs (including 21 g of fiber so about 19 g of net carbs), 100 grams of fat. 

If divided into 4 servings, one serving is 393 kcal, 33,5 grams of protein, 10 grams of total carbs (including 5,25 g of fiber so about 4,75 g of net carbs), 25 grams of fat.

 

Any ideas?

If you want to increase fat-to-protein ratio of this dish and it even more LCHF and keto friendly, feel free to add butter and/or heavy cream and/or cheese as a last extra step.

Triathlon: registered!

Today I finally weighed all the pros and cons of each triathlon that I had in mind and decided to take part in…

…A. le Coq Every Man’s Triathlon on the 12th of July 2014.

I ended up choosing between TriSmile33.3 and Every Man’s Triathlon. The first one is more popular and has great reviews but also has a difficult bike track and is pretty expensive. The one I chose is 2 times cheaper, easier for cycling and is organised also by TriSmile club and was recommended to me by a commenter here on my blog. 

Soon it’s time to start working more on cycling and swimming again. I haven’t cycled in ages (since last autumn – OMG!). Things are a little better with swimming but still: I don’t get at least 1 swim in per week. I will try to swim more and in also in natural environment like lakes, sea, rivers etc after my half-marathon is done. Right now my half-marathon goals come first but I still have some bike and swim action included in my 21,1K training to get myself slowly prepared for my tri as well.

I have about 4 weeks to really shape up my tri skills after Narva Energy Run 21,1K is done. Is that enough? I have also purchased a triathlon book which has a ton of training plans. I think I will use something from there when the time comes.
