As an IT engineer, Mr. Khong Quang Minh (Ba Dinh District, Hanoi) has little time to cook due to his busy work schedule. However, he still loves and regularly watches cooking shows on TV such as MasterChef.

Minh himself is interested in healthy foods, including fish, especially salmon. Therefore, when a friend introduced him to the contest "Healthy Living with Norwegian Seafood", he was very excited to participate.

Taking advantage of the weekend, Mr. Minh went to the supermarket to choose the ingredients and make Norwegian salmon with passion fruit sauce. The dish has a new flavor that made his father - who has never eaten salmon - praise it as delicious.

Receiving the notice from the organizing committee while he was at work in the office, he felt indescribably happy, just wanted to go home to celebrate immediately.

Win prizes with delicious, nutritious dishes for the whole family

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong (Ha Dong district, Hanoi) is a loyal reader of Dan Tri newspaper. Every day, before going to work, she often visits the newspaper's homepage or Facebook account to update the news.

When she accidentally read information about the contest "Healthy living with Norwegian seafood", Ms. Hong thought she would join for fun because normally, she often cooks salmon for her children with a variety of dishes such as pan-fried salmon, sashimi, salmon floss...

More importantly, Ms. Hong finds that salmon is very good for her child's health, and is also a familiar ingredient for mothers with young children who are in the weaning age. In addition, her husband is very passionate about the gym and loves a healthy lifestyle.

Therefore, Ms. Hong decided to cook pumpkin salmon porridge for the whole family to enjoy, and took a photo to enter the contest. The dish filled with love for her family helped her win second prize.

That same evening, after finishing work and returning home at 7pm, Ms. Ngoc hurriedly went to the supermarket to buy Norwegian salmon. However, it took her nearly two hours and three supermarkets to get the fresh, delicious ingredients she wanted.

After a meticulous preparation process, Ms. Ngoc put the Norwegian salmon with passion fruit sauce, mashed potatoes and vegetables on the table when the clock struck 10 p.m. Although it took a lot of effort and time, she was happy when the late-night meal received compliments from her relatives.
