Tilapia is a quick and easy fish to cook, especially if you are new to cooking fish. It is thin and white and is hard to mess up. Plus if you do not like that “fishy” flavor, tilapia is a good choice. You can also substitute the tilapia for any other white mild fish for this paleo recipe.
Turmeric is one hell of a spice. Being able to add it to great recipes is a good way to get the health benefits it contains even if you aren’t a huge fan of its flavor. I am a turmeric fan so I like adding it to wraps, soups and you name it.
Turmeric is used for arthritis, heartburn, headaches, skin conditions and many more things. Get your turmeric dose this evening using this recipe! For an additional twist, quench your thirst after the meal with a paleo smoothie.
