Elviira’s bio:

Hi all! My name is Elviira. I’m a former music scientist and computational linguist but I changed my career completely after starting my Low-Carb, So Simple blog a few years ago. I’m now a professional food blogger, author and photographer. I have been self-studying nutrition and different diets basically from the age I started eating 🙂 I’ve had severe health problems but after finding the gluten-free low-carb way to eat, those problems have been just bad memories.

Cooking has been always my passion. On my journey from a strict raw vegan to a conscious omnivore, I have collected an extensive collection of hundreds of diet books and cookbooks, still relentlessly digging into new studies and old traditions. On my blog, I share simple and healthful recipes with mouthwatering photos, hoping to help other people heal themselves and live healthy lives, full of energy and happiness.

I feel myself lucky because I have been able to turn my passion into profession. Several thousands of people visit my blog daily, and the blog has currently over 140,000 Facebook followers.

As I’m a native Finn and currently reside in Finland, I also blog in Finnish on www.alakarpisti.com whenever I have time.

When Jess asked me to write a guest post, I didn’t hesitate for a moment. I find her blog and Facebook pages very inspirational. Jess has got a great attitude and her friendliness is genuine and sincere. I wish her luck in her studies and business. I hope we can do more collaboration in the future!

Without further ado, I present to do you, Spicy Salmon for One by Elviira Krebber…

This Jamaican-inspired dish combines spices and lime juice into piquant paste which crowns the super healthy salmon. This superb single-serving dish is quick to make and sure to please! Adjust the fieriness to your liking by increasing or reducing the amount of cayenne pepper.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 teaspoon organic paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried organic thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon ground organic cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon organic onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon (or to taste) organic cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon (or to taste) unrefined sea salt
• 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice from organic lime
• 7 oz = 200 g wild caught salmon fillet or medallion
• 1 tablespoon organic extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Mix the spices and the salt with the lime juice in a small cup until the mixture forms a thick paste. Spread the paste over the salmon fillet.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil.
3. Place the salmon carefully on the skillet, the saucy side top.
4. Cook, covered, until just done and easily flaked with a fork. Don’t cook too long, otherwise the salmon will be dry.
5. Serve with lime wedges.
