I love preparing and serving my family Paleo meals. We aren’t strictly Paleo, but the foods just seriously cannot be beat!! Recently we had the opportunity to check out Powerful Paleo Superfoods
.
This book is absolutely amazing!! With so many fresh veggies readily available from not only my garden but from our local farmer’s market, I have really enjoyed preparing and trying these meals! As with so many Paleo recipes, the foods are packed full of flavor.
Powerful Paleo Superfoods by author Heather Connell (along with Julia Maranan) is the healthy readers essential guide to getting the best out of the primal-diet with the help of the top 50 Paleo-approved Superfoods-including power protein, super fats, fruits, greens and vegetables. Perfect for Paleo-beginners or the Paleo-curious, this new cookbook lets you integrate key foods and delicious recipes into your diet without the pressure of trying to understand the whole “plan” or adopt a lifestyle shift straight out of the gate. Unlike other Superfood lists that include things like soy, legumes, quinoa and goji, the Paleo community has a very different idea of what constitutes nutritional power foods. With blackberries currently being in peak season in North Carolina, I have to share with you this amazing recipe. Not only it is super easy to prepare but taste phenomenal and makes a perfect lunch or dinner during these hot summer months!! Blackberry-glazed Salmon
This dish is wonderful during the late spring and summer months when blackberries are at their ripest and can be found at your local market in abundance. I like to serve this dish with steamed asparagus or over a nice spinach salad. Makes 2 servings For salmon: Zest of 1 lemon 1 tablespoon (1.7 g) fresh rosemary, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 (6- to 8-ounce, or 168 to 224 g) wild-caught salmon fillets For glaze: 1⁄2 cup (75 g) fresh blackberries, plus additional for garnish, if desired 1⁄4 cup (60 ml) balsamic vinegar 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced To make the salmon: In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, rosemary, garlic, sea salt, and pepper and mix together. Rub the lemon-herb mixture on the salmon fillets. Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or (even better) overnight. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and scrape the lemon-herb mixture off the salmon. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the salmon fillets flesh side down, and cook until a nice golden crust forms, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the fillets and continue cooking until the skin becomes nice and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. To make the glaze: While the fish is cooking, mash the blackberries in a small bowl with the back of a spoon. Combine the blackberry mash, vinegar, and rosemary in a small frying pan. Place it over medium heat and stir occasionally. Allow the liquid to reduce by about half, about 3 to 5 minutes. It will thicken and become syrupy. Stir in a few additional whole blackberries, if desired. Spoon the glaze over the top of the salmon and serve. . Other recipes you will find inside this amazing book are:
