RECIPE OF THE MONTH I love almost anything grilled —fish, tofu, vegetables. Corey is a good family friend and a real salmon connoisseur. His tamari-grilled salmon is my favorite. It has the right balance of flavors from the tamari, garlic and lemon juice and is so easy to make. Finally, it is a rich source of omega-3 oils! Serves 4 to 6 depending on size of filet. ( For other deliciously nutritious recipes, be sure to go to www.strongwomen.com/recipes) Ingredients:
Take a close look at the salmon and remove any bones with tweezers or pliers. Using two sheets of heavy aluminum foil make a sturdy flat “boat” just big enough to contain the fish. Make sure the sides are high enough so when you put the liquid in with the fish, it won’t spill out. Wash the fish and place in the boat with the skin side down. Brush upper surface of fish will a little olive oil. Mix together equal parts of lemon juice and tamari with the minced garlic. Pour over the fish. You need just enough liquid to almost cover the fish. Let the fish marinate for about 30 minutes if possible. Place the “boat” with the fish on a medium-hot grill. Cover the grill and if possible add some hickory or oak twigs to the coals of the fire to help add a smoky flavor to the fish. Every two or three minutes, spoon some of the liquid on top of the fish so it stays moist. Cook until fish is just barely cooked through and starts to flake. Remove from heat and serve. If desired, drip some of the sauce on the fish. Serve with brown rice and your favorite vegetables.
