DR. ANDREW WEIL'S GRILLED OR BROILED SALMON

This recipe is based on one from Dr. Andrew Weil's book, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health. Use wild salmon for optimum health benefits as it tastes better and is more nutritious, and eating it does not have the environmental impact of eating farmed salmon, nor the health risks associated with it. Cook time doesn't include the 1-3 hours marinating time in the 'fridge. This makes a great meal with rice and a cooked vegetable or salad.

DR. ANDREW WEIL'S EASY POACHED SALMON



Dr. Andrew Weil's Easy Poached Salmon image

This recipe is from Dr. Andrew Weil's book, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health. When I made this I used too small a pan to take all the vegetables and the salmon, so the tops of my salmon were not covered in liquid; this worked for us because DH is a sashimi connoisseur so he went for the least done piece. I also was surprised to discard the vegetables! I nibbled on the delicious carrot slices, though! And yes, this is an easy dish and the salmon came out just great! :)
