There is one thing about losing weight, you have to eat right.
Sure, you can exercise until you're blue in the face but unless you eat
healthy weight loss meals, all that huffing and puffing isn't going to
amount to jack squat.
Here are some healthy weight loss meals you can whip up in your kitchen in no time, even if you're idea of gourmet cooking is that boxed mac and cheese you make for your kids. One key to healthy eating is to cook wet, at relatively low heat. That keeps changes from taking place in the food that can actually contribute to aging.
Poached Salmon Almondine
This salmon recipe is an old favorite, tastes fantastic, and most importantly is terrifically healthy. It is a source of very complete protein and is loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids, which unless you've been hiding under a rock of late, you know help prevent heart disease and all manner of other maladies. The salmon is poached, so never feels the high heat that can turn your food against your health.
The almonds are healthy themselves and add a bit of crunchy goodness to contrast with the texture of the salmon.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups White Wine
1 cup water
2 tbsp sherry
1 medium Onion - chopped
2 thin lemon slices
1 Tsp Italian seasoning mix (oregano, basil, and thyme)
1/8 tsp Peppercorns
1/4 cup Almonds, sliced with skin
4 Tbsp Butter (not margarine)
1 Tbsp fresh Lemon Juice
1 dash chili powder
4 salmon fillets, large (make sure they are really fresh - never frozen)
To Prepare:
Saute the onions in the butter with the sherry in a medium saute pan. When they are almost fully cooked, add the rest of the liquid, almonds, and seasoning. Bring to a slow simmer, then add the salmon.
When is it done? Salmon is easy, because there is a significant color change when it is finished. Figure about 8 - 12 minutes, depending on the fish's size. Remove the salmon, strain the onions and almonds from the liquid and place on top of the salmon. Enjoy!
