We’ve rounded up the easy chicken and fish recipes from Erwan Heussaff that we love and keep coming back to
In the over 10 years that Erwan Heussaff has been on YouTube, he’s talked about thousands upon thousands of recipes that he’s developed on his own or derived from his travels. Because there are so many to choose from, it’d be near impossible to decide which of those would land in our top 5. So, in this article, we’re only picking the recipes we think were delicious, easy to follow, easy to make, and healthy for our well-being in the long term. These recipes are also largely inexpensive and accessible in most markets.

These recipes all contain ingredients that are labeled as superfoods. As the name suggests, a superfood refers to food that is full of nutrients significant to the health of an individual. For example, ginger is a superfood because it has strong benefits like aiding in indigestion, reducing the risk of heart disease, and increasing our serotonin and dopamine levels. Meanwhile, salmon is regarded as a superfood because of its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial to our heart and brain health. Other superfoods included in the ingredient lists of these recipes are broccoli, kale, and lean chicken, among others.
