A delicious recipe from the eat-right doc Sure, this dish is heavy on the fat, but it's the healthy omega-3 kind found in salmon, says leading health researcher Walter Willett, M.D. The recipe comes from his new book, Eat, Drink and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical Guide to Healthy Eating (Simon & Schuster Source). Ingredients:
3/4 cup peeled and chopped papaya |
1/4 cup chopped yellow bell pepper |
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion |
1 tbsp chopped pimiento |
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint |
1 tbsp rice-wine or white vinegar |
1 tbsp fresh lime juice |
1 tsp grated fresh ginger |
1 tsp seeded and minced jalapeño pepper |
vegetable-oil cooking spray |
4 salmon steaks (5 oz each) or fillets, about 1 to 1 1/4 inches thick |
Directions:
1. For salsa, combine all ingredients except the salmon in a small bowl. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes. Lightly coat grill or broiler pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper. Grill or broil fish 5 minutes on each side or until done. Top each steak with 1/4 cup salsa and serve with whole-wheat couscous if desired.
