Lemon fish Cod

This meal is packed with Quercetin-rich foods. Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant that is undergoing rigorous research currently. It may help increase exercise endurance and speed muscle recovery. One theory is that quercetin increases the oxygen capacity of the muscle by increasing the number of mitochondria. Another theory is that it may prevent fatigue by way of the central nervous system. Quercetin contains anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce postworkout muscle soreness. I say, bring on the capers! They contain the highest amount of this antioxidant per serving. Other foods in this recipe that contain this little powerhouse are red onions and tomatoes.

What you need:

olive oil

Cod fillets

black pepper

paprika

red onions

mushrooms

clam broth
lemon juice

lemon rind

capers (rinse them like crazy...they contain an astonishing amount of sodium, even after drained)

What to do:

saute the fish in the olive oil with the spices, then remove from pan

saute the remaining ingredients, adding the capers and lemon at the end

pour sauce over fish and voila. Enjoy!

To add to this meal, you can steam asparagus with: tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and pepper.

For my endurance athlete friends: I suggest adding sprouted grain pasta with sundried tomato pesto sauce as a side dish.
