Healthy Superfood Recipes - Salmon

Healthy Superfood Recipes


Nutrient-rich lemons, olive oil, tomatoes, red wine, garlic, onions, leafy greens, salmon, and chocolate are fabulous foods that not only taste good, but can also keep you healthy.

The omega-3 oils in salmon are thought to promote healthy arteries and may also help treat depression and rheumatoid arthritis. Health benefits aside, there's no quicker weeknight supper than our Pineapple- and Soy-Glazed Salmon. Slipped into the oven, it cooks in less than 10 minutes. The glaze includes a fermented soybean paste, one of whose phytonutrients, isoflavone, seems to mimic estrogen and could prevent breast and prostate cancers.

Pineapple and Soy-Glazed Salmon

From Country Living
Miso is a paste made by fermenting soybeans, sometimes with barley or rice. Look for it in Asian, health, or gourmet markets.

Ingredients
 

    1 1/4 cup(s) pineapple juice
    2 tablespoon(s) low-sodium soy sauce
    1/4 cup(s) dry sherry
    1 teaspoon(s) light brown sugar
    2 tablespoon(s) miso
    4  (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
    1/4 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground black pepper

Directions

    Marinate the salmon: In a medium saucepan over high heat, cook the pineapple juice, soy sauce, and sherry for 20 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 5 more minutes. Using a whisk, stir in miso. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool. Season the salmon fillets with the pepper and place them in a shallow baking dish. Pour the pineapple glaze over the salmon fillets, turning to coat each side, and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
    Roast the fillets: Place the salmon on the top shelf of the oven and cook until the flesh turns opaque -- about 7 minutes. Change the oven temperature setting to broil and cook until the glaze begins to brown -- 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
