One of the joys of spring is everyday discovery of what’s-in season fruits and veggies. We can’t stop talking about the bright red juicy strawberries that are bursting out of boxes at the local farmers markets.
This week’s recipe uses strawberries in a sweet and savory way to top an easy fish recipe, that rocks!
Parsley plays a supporting role in this easy recipe. It’s more than pretty, its nutritious, too! Parsley keeps your immune system strong, tones your bones and heals the nervous system, too. It also helps flush out excess fluid from the body, thus supporting kidney function. finally, regular use of parsley can help control your blood pressure. What a great recipe for flavor and health benefits!
