One of the easiest ways to keep your diet fresh and interesting is to change it with the seasons. If you’re not sure where to start with this, my book Eat Beautiful is a great place to get inspiration. I have divided it up by the four seasons, with plenty of ingredients to stock up on (with their skin-friendly properties) plus plenty of delicious recipes that I’ve been making in my kitchen for years. This BBQ season, fish is always on my menu, not just as an alternative to the usual meat sausages and burgers but as the star of the show! Serve this tasty spicy fish recipe with plenty of lime, which is rich in skin-boosting vitamin C and has metabolism-boosting properties plus antibiotic properties to help keep acne at bay as well. Other skin-friendly ingredients include cucumber and parsley, and the recipe works with all types of fish, although I recommend sea bass or red snapper.

My Summer Spicy Fish Recipe
Serves 2
265 calories per serving
1 whole fish (such as red snapper or sea bass), gutted and cleaned
1 fresh red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 tbsp honey
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Sea salt
FOR THE SALAD
Handful of rocket
1 small cucumber, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan.
- Score the skin of the fish diagonally a few times with a sharp knife and rub sea salt into the skin.
- Combine the chilli, honey, garlic, shallot, coriander and lime juice in a small bowl and rub this mixture over the fish, inside and out.
- Place the fish in the middle of a large piece of foil. Fold the foil over the fish as though wrapping a present, scrunching up the open edges at either end to create a boat-shaped parcel.
- Place the foil-wrapped fish on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 minutes or until tender.
- Meanwhile, combine the rocket, cucumber and lemon juice in a bowl.
- To serve, fillet the top layer of cooked fish and transfer to a plate, then carefully pull away the fish bone and head before transferring the rest of the filleted fish to the second plate. Serve with the salad.
