Nutritional values

Fish is a great source of vitamin D, which stimulates production of the body's own antibiotics and thus supports the immune system. One portion of the Mediterranean mix of red mullet and salad already provides you more than half of your daily vitamin D requirement.

If green asparagus is not in season, substitute it for cucumber or zucchini.
