My previous experiences with diet food led to giving up all diets forever . Diet recipes were completely tasteless and made me miserable. All I could think was to find a perfect excuse to get off the diet and taste some delicious food.
But, surprise, there are healthy and tasty recipes! Just try the recipe below. Only 5 ingredients, 15 minutes to prepare and wow, some flavors! Use some red wine left from other dinner parties and salmon (fillet or other pieces).
