Super Simple Salmon Recipe

Recipe by: Holly Clegg
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 pound sliced mushrooms
  • 4 (4-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
  • 1/3 cup Marsala wine (or 1/3 cup of chicken or beef broth, or stock)
  • 3/4 cups fat-free chicken broth
  • 3 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil and sauté onion, garlic, and mushrooms until tender.
  2. Add salmon to skillet, cooking 4 minutes, then turn onto the other side.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the wine (or substituted broth for the wine), broth and cornstarch.
  4. When the salmon is almost done, add wine mixture (or broth mixture) to the salmon. Stir gently, as mixture thickens quickly.

Nutrition bonus: Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in our health, from reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke to lowering cholesterol and reducing joint pain from inflammation. We must get omega-3 fatty acids through diet as they are not made in the body and salmon is a rich source.

Serving suggestion: Serve with roasted broccoli or your favorite vegetables
