Halibut nutritional and health characteristics of the largest marine flora

A balanced and varied diet is the foundation of health. This variety of diet consists of eating foods from each group of products. One of the most important groups is fish. They are an excellent source of high-quality protein, healthy fats and some rare vitamins. General nutritional recommendations suggest that we should eat two servings of fish per week. Unfortunately, in our country (with access to the sea) there is still too little to eat, and it's a shame, because they are extremely tasty.

1. Halibut description of species and occurrence

Halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) is a predatory marine fish, found in Poland also under the name kulbak. Halibut is the largest representative of the fish in the aquarium family, some specimens reaching up to 3.5 m in length and weighing over 200 kg. However, halibut differs from other fish not only in size but also in shape.

2. Halibut nutritional value

In 100 g of halibut we can find 20.1 g of protein, compared to 19.9 g of salmon, and 18 g of cod. These values differ slightly from each other, however, the fact that halibut as a lean fish differs from the aforementioned low-energy file is a great source of high-digesting protein. However, the 100 g fish is also a good source of about 90 calories (two times less than in lobster file).

3. Halibut health and contraindications

As most marine halibut fish are a good source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, it has been shown that women who store an adequate amount of omega-3s in 100 g of meat contain 0.29 g of WNKT from the omega-3 family. The presence of these compounds in the diet is of particular health importance. Omega-3s play an active role in the formation of the nervous system and its proper functioning from the time of fetal life. A study by the European Commission found that women with adequate amounts of omega 3s in their diet also have a higher IQ than those with high levels of fatty acid in their diets.

4. Halibut the rules

Spring piccata with halibut is the perfect recipe for a light spring dinner, although it's also a good choice as a main course for a romantic dinner for two. It's light, tasty, and very easy to prepare.

5. Ingredients for two servings:

300 g of halibut fillet, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, ?? 200 ml of fish broth, 4 teaspoonfuls of butter (82% fat), 4 spoons of green marinated olives, 3 toothpastes of garlic,

6. It's a way of preparing

We prepare the fish in pairs or bake it for a short time in a papillot. On the heated and greased butter pan, we pour a little bit of seasoned and sliced garlic spray. We add a fish broth, lemon juice, butter, choke for a while until the broth part evaporates. It is recommended to reduce it by half before adding the previously baked fish. After adding halibut fillets, we drop a small amount of vegetables, olive oil, salt and pepper.

7. Ingredients for two servings:

400 g of halibut filet, 150 g of fresh spinach, ?? lemon, 1⁄2 garlic head, 6 tablespoons of butter (82% fat), 1 or 2 small chili peppers (depending on your taste) a teaspoon of rapeseed oil and spices: salt and pepper.

8. It's a way of preparing

We cut the chili peppers in half and we get rid of the peas, we pick the garlic from the shells and we cut it into shady patches. We fry both vegetables in a well-heated pan with rapeseed oil on a small fire so that they don't burn (it can ruin all our efforts). We put the washed spinach on the pan, we add a pinch of salt and we mix it thoroughly. In the meantime, we prepare the fish, but we only improve with salt and pepper.
