Hey Everyone.

I tried an amazing receipe out of the SHAPE magazine that I get every month to read.  I did not create the receipe myself. This receipe was just too good not to share with everyone. If you try it out please let me know how you like it. ENJOY and Happy Healthy Eating.

Grilled Salmon in Lemongrass Broth

4oz pad thai or fettuccine noodles (I used Pad Thai)

2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot

1 stalk lemon grass (outer core removed and thingly sliced)

1-2 jalapeno peppers, stemmed and seeded

3 tablesppons fish sauce or low sodium soy sauce (I used the soy)

16 FRESH shitake mushrooms, stemmed, each cap quarted, or button mushrooms

4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal

2 large carrots, trimmed, peeled and thinly sliced

1 small bunch  watercreess, stems trimmed

4(6ounce) salmon fillets, skinned

1 teaspoon canola oil

1/2 cilantro leaves for garish

Place pad thai noodles in large bowl and cover with hot tap water.  Let soak for 2 minutes or until slightly softened.  Drain; set aside.

Combine gingerroot, lemongrass, and jalapeno in a food processor and process until minced. Transfer to a medium saucepan and add 6 cups of water, along with fish OR soy sauce.  Bring broth to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.  Stir in mushrooms, scallions, carrots, and softened noodles.  Bring soup mixture back to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 8 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.  Stir in watercress. Next, decide how you’d like to cook the salmon: in the broth or on the grill (I chose the grill).

On the grill: Cover coup and keep warm. Preheat grill to medium (or turn on broiler). Brush fillets with oil and cook about 3 minutes on each side, or until fish turns opaque in center.

In Broth (if you choose to): Add the fillets to the soup just after you add the watercress. Cook for apx 5 minutes or until salmon is flaky.

Ladle equal portions of broth, noodles and vegeatables in to four shallow bowls, then add the salmon fillet to each bowl. Garnish with cilantro.

Bon appetite..

AGAIN!! This is NOT a receipt I have created.  I got the receipe out of SHAPE magazine. I have cooked and tried the receipe and it’s very very good, so I just wanted to share it with more people.

Until later.

Oh P.S. I will begin posting my workouts again beginning on Monday! I have just been to busy to worry about that lately. Sorry for the nonposting rep I am getting, but thanks for understanding.
