One of the easiest ways to keep your diet fresh and interesting is to vary it with the seasons. If you don’t know where to start, my book “Eat Beautiful” is a great place to get inspired. I divide my diet into four seasons and stock up on a ton of ingredients (with skin-friendly properties) as well as a ton of delicious recipes that I’ve been making in my kitchen for years. This BBQ season, fish is always on my menu – not only as an alternative to the usual meat sausages and burgers, but also as the star of the show. This delicious spicy fish recipe is rich in skin-strengthening vitamin C and has antibiotic properties to prevent acne, in addition to its metabolism-boosting properties. Other skin-friendly ingredients include cucumber and parsley. This recipe can be used with all types of fish, but I recommend sea bass or sea bream.

My Summer Spicy Fish Recipe
Serves 2
265 calories per serving
1 whole, gutted and cleaned fish (such as sea bream or sea bass)
1 fresh red chilli pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
A handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Sea salt
For salads
A handful of rockets
1 small cucumber (chopped)
Juice of 1 lemon
- Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan.
- Using a sharp knife, make several diagonal cuts into the skin of the fish and rub the sea salt into the skin.
- Combine the chilies, honey, garlic, shallots, coriander, and lime juice in a small bowl and coat the fish inside and out with this mixture.
- Place the fish in the center of a large piece of aluminum foil. Fold the foil over the fish as if you were wrapping a present, then crumple both open ends to create a boat-shaped package.
- Place the foil-wrapped fish on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 minutes or until tender.
- Meanwhile, combine the rocket, cucumber and lemon juice in a bowl.
- To serve, fillet the top layer of cooked fish onto a plate and carefully remove the fish bones and head, then transfer the remaining filleted fish to a second plate. Serve with salad.
