Beetroot Marinated Salmon: Nordic Summer Must
Nordic summers are short, full of light and barefoot adventures. The food is traditionally based on greens, grains and vegetables in season. The beetroot comes as a welcome reminder that the cold months have left. The red is so intense that gloves are a must-have in the kitchen. Beetroot will colour you too happy if you’re not careful.
In Scandinavia you will enjoy new root vegetables every day in summer time along with delectable fish dishes, nordic crisp bread and crisp salad leaves. The food comes with a guarantee of health, energy and wellness. You feel good!
Nordic Diet: The New ‘It’ Diet
That you feel full of goodness when you eat is not in doubt in Scandinavia. Nordic food is hailed as one of the healthiest foods on earth by renowned research based experts.
Wholesome, healthy and light. The food is full of flavours that comes from the land, sea and intense seasons. Berries, grains, root vegetables, lean game and fish – this is the way that we eat.
Do you agree that Nordic people have a healthy appearance? If you need convincing just remember the recent England – Iceland football game. 🙂 Hu-Ha!
Why not give it a try? You will start to look like a Viking in the best possible way, with a healthy glow to scare off any infection or sad mood.

In this recipe salmon is the hero of the dish, with beetroot as a subtle background flavour. The red marinade makes the presentation look like a rose. The taste is a winner which I highly recommend. Take a dip into the Nordic cuisine, and let us know what you think.
