Know your cook

More information, cause recipe back stories are stupid

No 500-word life story — just the good-to-know stuff on what’s actually in this cook. Here’s the rundown on every real ingredient, health and nutrition wise.

White fish
Lean white fish is low in calories and high in protein, with useful selenium, iodine, and B12. It's a light, heart-friendly option that takes on smoke beautifully.
Chili peppers
Chili peppers are low in calories and high in vitamin C and antioxidants, and their heat comes from capsaicin, which may give metabolism a small nudge. Dial the amount to your spice tolerance.
Citrus
Citrus brightens rich, smoky food and brings vitamin C and antioxidants along with its acidity. A squeeze at the end cuts fattiness and lifts flavour without added salt or sugar.
