Grilled Salmon with Sweet Corn Saute

Here’s a new great way to serve grilled salmon-thank you sister for your inspiration!!

Grill salmon-rub with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste

Prepare corn saute:

6 ears of corn, kernels removed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 medium red onion, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, stems removed and chopped
salt and pepper

Saute until crisp tender. Place a small amount on each plate and lay salmon filet on top.

Soy-Glazed Salmon

This is a quick, delicious and very healthy way to enjoy salmon that I found in a Martha Stewart magazine. I love the flash-frozen filets from Costco. I quick-thaw them in their pouches in a bowl of water and they are ready to bake in just a few minutes. I served it with stir-fry vegetables and steamed brown rice.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Mix in a bowl:

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup brown sugar

3 T. soy sauce

2 T. fresh lemon juice

2 T. dry white wine (or water)

Salt and pepper the filets. Place in a oven proof baking dish. Pour the glaze over the top. Turn the filets to coat all sides. Place in hot oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until salmon is opaque but still bright pink inside. Baste a few times while baking. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Halibut with White Beans

1 T. olive oil
4 halibut filets (or substitute another white fish)
1/2 tsp . salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cloves garlic-minced
1 can diced tomatoes
1 yellow onion diced
12 oz. can chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 c. white cooking wine
1-2 (16 oz.) cans cannellini beans (label should read lightly seasoned)
I used two cans because I happen to love white beans!

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish evenly with salt and pepper. Add fish to pan; cook 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove fish from pan and place in a shallow casserole dish. Add onion and garlic to pan; cook 1-2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, broth, wine, and beans; bring to a boil. Pour over fish in casserole dish. Place in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Fish will finish cooking and flavors will blend. Serve in shallow bowls- place a filet and then top with several spoonfuls of "bean soup". Delicious with crusty bread and a fresh green salad.

Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa

This has got to be one of my favorite recipes of the summer.
So fresh, so flavorful, and SO HEALTHY!

For the fish, I used the flash frozen Mahi Mahi from Costco.
Defrost it in the package in a bowl of room temperature water.
Cover a baking sheet with foil and lay the fish side by side.
Sprinkle with olive oil, crushed garlic, salt and pepper.
Cook the fish according to the package - (About 450 degrees for 12 minutes)
Once the fish is done, take out of the oven and shred into pieces with two forks.
Serve in corn tortillas that have been lightly browned on the stove and mango salsa.
3 fillets should serve about 4 people.

Mango Salsa
2 mango-chopped into small cubes
1 red bell pepper-finely chopped
1 Avocado diced
1-2 tomatoes diced
2 T. cilantro-chopped
2 t. lime juice
A couple sprinkles of ginger (or freshly grated if you have it)
dash cayenne pepper
1/2 of a small red onion- diced
salt and pepper
drizzle olive oil over the salsa until it reaches your desired consistency
(I try to use as little as possible)

Enjoy!

Raspberry Chipotle Sauce

I found a new favorite sauce....I bought it at Costco so I was pretty sure it was going to be a winner. It has great ingredients and I wasn't disappointed. I've now use it on grilled chicken, Mahi Mahi, and I even thinned it out a little and used it as a salad dressing combining greens, grilled diced chicken, avacado, black beans, cherry tomotoes, and diced red onion. A new flavor and delicious!
