HERE FISHY, FISHY, FISHY...!!!

PAN-GRILLED SALMON WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Fish is an excellent source of lean protein which makes this dish a famous choice for either dinner or even lunch. Salmon contains heart healthy fats known as omega 3s and loaded with monounsaturated fats which are particularly good for weight loss plans.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple 
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1/2-inch thick)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt


Preparation

1.      Combine first 5 ingredients (through pepper) in a bowl; set aside.
2.      Heat a nonstick grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish with salt. Cook fish 4 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily when tested with a fork. Top with salsa.

ΓΌ  Yield: Serves 4 (serving size: 1 fillet and 1/3 cup salsa)
