Salmon in Citrus Sauce
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1½ lbs salmon filets, skin and bones removed, cut into 4 pieces
1/2 medium sized onion, chopped
2 medium cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1½ cups fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, or if you have it, green fennel tops
salt and white pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler and place a stainless steel or cast iron skillet under broiler for about 10 minutes to
get it very hot.
2. Chop onions and garlic and let sit for 5 minutes to enhance their hidden health-promoting
properties.
3. While skillet is heating, place chopped onion, garlic, fennel seeds, 2 tablespoon lemon juice, and
orange juice in a shallow, wide saucepan and cook on high heat for about 10-15 minutes to reduce
to half the volume.
4. Season salmon pieces with 2 teaspoon lemon juice, salt and pepper and place on hot pan from
broiler. Return pan to broiler (approximately 5-7 inches from heat) and broil salmon for about
7 minutes depending on thickness (10 minutes per inch of thickness). Do not turn, as salmon is
cooking on both sides at once.
5. Remove salmon from pan, and place on platter. Season citrus sauce with salt and pepper and
strain liquid over salmon. Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.

Stir-Fried Seafood with Asparagus
Prep and Cook Time: 25 minutes
This easy-to-prepare recipe adds a combination of flavors that is both complex and delicious to your
Healthiest Way of Eating. It is also a very good source of health-promoting vitamins D, K and B12.
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, cut in half and sliced medium thick
1 TBS chicken or vegetable broth
1 TBS minced fresh ginger
3 medium cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups fresh sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 bunch thin asparagus, cut in 2" lengths (discard bottom fourth)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 TBS tamari (soy sauce)
2 TBS mirin wine
pinch red pepper flakes
3/4 lb cod fillet cut into 1 inch pieces
8 large scallops
8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in quarters
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
salt and white pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Slice onion and chop garlic and let sit for 5-10 minutes to enhance its health-promoting benefits.
2. Heat 1 TBS broth in a stainless steel wok or 12 inch skillet. Healthy Stir-Fry onion in broth over
medium high heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add ginger, garlic, mushrooms and asparagus.
Continue to stir-fry for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Serves 4
Serving Suggestions:
• Serve with Brown Rice
• Healthy Cooking Tips:
• Make sure all of your ingredients are ready before beginning to stir-fry. Once you begin to cook it
goes very quickly, and the key to the success of this recipe is not overcooking the ingredients. Use a
cod filet that is about 1 inch thick. This will keep it from falling apart. Large shrimp usually come
26-30 per pound. By using this size shrimp with large scallops and thick-cut cod they all cook in
about the same amount of time. This dish is meant to be served with ingredients cooked very lightly.
If you cannot find thin asparagus, increase the cooking time from one to two minutes before adding
the fish. This way the asparagus can cook without overcooking the rest of the ingredients.
