Hi Pat,

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for your kind wishes. Hope your health is still improving and that the ongoing battle with Sodium is going well. Fortunately, my Heart is behaving itself, but my Diabetes keeps taking off little pieces of me. This trip to the Hospital I lost part of my Great Toe on the left foot and my third toe on that foot as well. However, I am grateful for my overall good health and I thank God each day for the opportunity to continue to serve Him. He will never give us more than we can bear and His Holy Spirit is always with us to guide us along our daily Journey.

Meanwhile, here's a little recipe for a low sodium side dish that always goes well with just about any kind of main dish.

Green Beans With Red Onions


Ingredients

1 Quart Water
1 lb. Fresh Green Beans (Trim Ends)
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup iced Red Onion
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
1 tsp Fresh Thyme Leaves
Fresh Black Pepper to Taste

Preparation

Place the water in a large stock pot over high heat. When the water is at a slow boil reduce the heat until the water shivers. Add the green beans and blanch for about 7 - 10 minutes until aldente.
While the beans are cooking, place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and as it melts toss in the red onion. Cook slowly and reduce the heat if the onion is turning brown. Stir frequently.
When the beans are done remove them from the blanching water and shake off the excess water. Add them to the red onions with the salt, thyme and black pepper.
Cook over medium heat for about two minutes and serve. Makes (4) 4 oz. Servings.

Hello My Friends,

Well, Memorial Day Weekend is here and you know what that means, gotta fire up the Grill. However, you don't have to forget cooking healthy. Jazz up your simply grilled salmon and summer vegetables with a zesty sauce based on the classic Spanish romesco. Made with roasted red peppers, tomatoes and almonds, this sauce is a great match for any seafood, poultry or vegetables. Using smoked paprika brings out the flavors from the grill. Serve with: Grilled baguette.

Grilled Salmon and Zucchini With Red Pepper Sauce


Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted (see Note)
  • 1/4 cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers
  • 1/4 cup halved grape tomatoes , or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar , or red-wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika, preferably smoked
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
  • 1 1/4 pounds wild-caught salmon fillet , (see Note), skinned and cut crosswise into 4 portions
  • 2 medium zucchini , or summer squash (or 1 of each), halved lengthwise
  • Canola or olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley , for garnish

Preparation

  1. Preheat grill to medium.
  2. Process almonds, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, oil, vinegar, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth; set aside.
  3. Coat salmon and zucchini (and/or summer squash) on both sides with cooking spray, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill, turning once, until the salmon is just cooked through and the squash is soft and browned, about 3 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer the squash to a clean cutting board. When cool enough to handle, slice into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss in a bowl with half of the reserved sauce. Divide the squash among 4 plates along with a piece of salmon topped with some of the remaining sauce. Garnish with parsley, if desired. Serves 4.
Notes:

  • 1. To toast chopped or sliced nuts, stir constantly in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • 2. To skin a salmon fillet, place on a clean cutting board, skin side down. Starting at the tail end, slip the blade of a long, sharp knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding the skin down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30° angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either.

Have A Blessed & Happy Memorial Day My Friends,

Phil

Hello Friends,

Another Fish that I'm particularly fond of, just happens to be Orange Roughy. Generally speaking, it's reasonably priced and fairly easy to prepare. Tonight we're having Orange Roughy fillets with a Citrus twist.

Lemon-Orange Orange Roughy


Ingredients

1 tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 (4 oz.) Fillets Orange Roughy
1 Orange Juice
1 Lemon Juiced
1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper

Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange fillets in the skillet, and drizzle with orange juice and lemon juice. Sprinkle with lemon pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork. Serves 4.
