nutritional benefits by adding from this flavorful combination of tangy salsa
and salmon to your Healthiest Way of Eating. And it can be prepared in minutes.
It is an exceptionally good source of hard-to-find, health-promoting omega-3
fatty acids.
Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/3 lb salmon fillet, cut in half
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- sea salt and pepper to taste
- Salsa
- 1 ripe tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup green onions, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 2 tsp fresh mint, minced
- 1 tsp lime juice
- sea salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1.
To
Quick-Broil, preheat broiler and place an all stainless steel skillet (be sure
the handle is also stainless steel) or cast iron pan under the heat for about
10 minutes to get it very hot. The pan should be 5 to 7 inches from the heat
source.
2.
Rub salmon
with 2 tsp fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper. (You can Quick Broil with the
skin on; it just takes a minute or two longer. The skin will peel right off
after cooking.)
3.
Using a
hot pad, pull pan away from heat and place salmon on hot pan, skin side down.
Return to broiler. Keep in mind that it is cooking rapidly on both sides so it
will be done very quickly, usually in 7 minutes depending on thickness. Test
with a fork for doneness. It will flake easily when it is cooked. Salmon is
best when it is still pink inside.
Salsa
1.
Combine
all salsa ingredients.
2.
Spoon over
salmon.
3.
Garnish
with mint and a sprinkle of extra virgin olive oil.
