We all hear over and over about how we need to eat healthy fish, for the Omega-3 Fatty Acids, right? Well, here's a great way to make a meal that is easy, and will make your stomach very happy!
This recipe is heart healthy, anti-inflammatory and tastes great (and I created it!).
What you will need to gather:
1 lb Wild salmon
1 onion
½ lemon
1 Tbsp Turmeric
1 package cellophane (mung bean) noodles
1 bunch Bok-Choy
3 stalks celery
5 cloves garlic
Sesame oil
Olive oil
______________________________________
Salmon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Slice salmon into 4 serving sizes
Line a baking dish with tin foil.
Place about ½ the sliced onion in the dish and place the salmon on top of the onions, skin side down.
Layer the remaining ½ onion on top.
Melt aproximately½ cup butter a heavy bottomed dish at low heat with the juice of ½ lemon, garlic salt and 1 Tbsp Turmeric.
Drizzle this over the salmon.
Close the foil over the salmon, and bake for about 30 minutes, until salmon is flaky.
Bok-Choy
Wash and slice one bunch bok-choy into ¼ inch slices. I use all parts.
Mix ¼ cup olive oil with a generous splash of sesame oil, and 5-6 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or minced.
Heat this oil, and stir fry the bok-choy until tender but still crunchy.
Mung bean noodles
Full packet of Mung-bean sprouts (4 little bunches)
Heat several (I have no idea how many!) cups of water to boil. Take off of heat and place noodles in to soak, about 10-15 minutes.
Mixology
Flake the salmon into small chunks, and put over the noodles, including the cooked onions and whatever liquid comes from the cooked salmon.
Then, add the cooked bok-choy and the finely chopped celery.
Take kitchen scissors and generously cut the noodles into smaller and smaller bits, and mix all ingredients together. If not, the noodles make it hard to mix the ingredients together.
YUM. Totally anti-inflammatory. Gluten, dairy and soy free. And I made it up!
