Grilled or broiled salmon
Salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids, which may help prevent heart disease. Other omega-3 sources include sardines, herring and mackerel.
Ingredients
1 cup sake (Japanese rice wine)
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
2 cloves fresh garlic, pressed
1 tablespoon dark-brown sugar
1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets (6 ounces per person)
Directions
- Prepare the marinade by mixing the sake, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and dark-brown sugar.
- Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water, place in a glass or ceramic dish, and pour the marinade over it. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours, spooning the liquid over any exposed parts of the fish once or twice.
- Prepare the grill or preheat the broiler to high heat.
- Drain the fish and place on foil on grill or a broiler pan. Broil or grill until done (It should be flaky.), being careful not to overcook.
