Zesty Sicilian Lemon Sea Bass with Balsamic Drizzle

The flavor of sea bass pairs well with fresh zesty lemon, black pepper, and a simple balsamic glaze. Lemon lifts all the flavors in this dish, especially the tangy sweetness of the balsamic glaze. Black pepper is a renowned anti-inflammatory spice and a subtle source of trace minerals like manganese for energy production and bone health.

Both squid and prawn are full of protein, iodine, selenium, zinc, and vitamin B12 – important nutrients for strong immunity, thyroid function, brain health, and much more. The marinade is our version of teriyaki, a sauce traditionally made from soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake. We use a blend of fresh garlic, ginger, and coconut aminos instead. Naturally gluten-free, coconut aminos is made from fermented coconut palm nectar. It has a lighter, less salty taste than regular soy sauce which makes it perfect for this flavorful marinade. We’ve used broccoli, red bell pepper, pak choi, and green beans for the stir-fry but feel free to add any vegetables you like. The more colorful the better! Your gut microbiome thrives on the fiber and color compounds from brightly colored vegetables.

Miso Salmon

Elevate your plate with our delicious miso salmon. Each serving provides 22g of high-quality protein plus anti-inflammatory fats and phytonutrients. Salmon is rich in omega-3 oil, an essential fat that helps your body deal with inflammation. Getting enough omega-3 in your diet helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and supports cognitive function. Deep umami flavors come from the marinade of white miso, coconut aminos, sesame oil, and mirin. White miso is a blend of fermented barley, rice, and soybeans. As a fermented food, it helps nourish the microflora in your digestive system. These microbes influence everything from immunity to mental well-being and are the key to good health. One point to note: if you’re using furikake, opt for a brand that doesn’t contain monosodium glutamate (MSG), a potentially harmful flavor enhancer.

This miso cod dish is an easy midweek supper packed with protein and minerals. You could also use the same marinade on a whole-boned fish for an impressive dinner party dish!

Selenium, iodine, and B vitamins are essential for thyroid health and supporting mental well-being, while protein is key to healthy blood sugar regulation. Shiro miso, also called white miso, is made from a blend of fermented rice, barley, and soybeans. It has the mildest flavor of all misos, often described as mellow and nutty. Paired with tamari, a gluten-free soy sauce, it brings plenty of gut-friendly fermented goodness to this dish. Fermented foods support the balance and diversity of your gut microbiome. Here at EBS, we believe gut health is the foundation of whole-body health, and fermented foods like miso and tamari are a key part of the program.

Cod and Sweet Potato Traybake

Good quality protein is a mainstay of the anti-inflammatory meal plans at EBS. Protein is essential for blood-sugar management, immune health, muscle building, and hormone balance – every aspect of good health relies on protein. This Cod and Sweet Potato Traybake combines high-quality protein from cod and almonds with antioxidant-rich vegetables and olive oil. Cod is a wonderful source of selenium, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6. Selenium is a potent antioxidant mineral often lacking in our modern diets. We need selenium to protect cells against inflammatory damage, and also for optimum thyroid function. Sweet potato is rich in beta-carotene, the antioxidant that gives its flesh such a strong orange color. Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A in the body and plays an important role in immune function, healthy vision, and skin health. Tenderstem broccoli complements the uplifting flavor of the sweet potato and provides glucosinolates – key compounds for detoxification pathways in the liver. Tomatoes provide another antioxidant – lycopene – and bring a juicy sweetness to this easy traybake recipe.
