Maple Soy Salmon with sauteed swiss chard and brown/white rice mixture

SUNDAY
Grilled Maple-soy Salmon


This is a recipe that was originally printed in the Clean Eating magazine
23 Minutes to Prepare and Cook

Ingredients
4 salmon fillets or steaks (about 4 oz. each)
1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
1 Tbsp soy sauce


Directions

Place salmon in a large, shallow glass continer. In a small bowl, stir together maple syrup and soy sauce, and brush on both sides of salmon (or on skinless side only, if salmon has skini.), using entire amount. Let sit for 15 minutes.

Place salmon directly on grate over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip with tongs or a spatula and grill for 2 to 3 more minutes, or until salmon is no longer shiny or translucent in the middle. The flesh should be firm and just slightly flaky. Serve immediately.

Number of Servings: 4

Serve with sauteed swiss chard and white and brown rice.

Swiss chard is really easy to prepare. Simply chop up coarsely after rinsing well. Mince some garlic finely, allow to sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the healthy compounds to become active in the garlic.
Now saute garlic in 1tbsp olive oil, allow garlic to become slightly softened and browned. Add swiss chard. Cook long enough to wilt swiss chard.
