We really love recipes that just call for a few ingredients that come together to make something delicious and miraculous. Our functional nutritionist, Andrea Nakayama, always tells us to get more good-quality fish into our diets for the anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. She says they assist in our workout recovery, help us think more clearly and even lose weight. That’s all good news when the messenger for those results actually tastes so good!
GINGER BROILED FISH
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil (but the coconut oil is really amazing!)
1/4 cup hot water
4 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
1 tablespoon umeboshi plum vinegar or rice wine vinegar
2 (6-ounce) halibut or cod fillets
PREPARATION:
1. Make marinade by combining oil, water, ginger and vinegar.
2. Place fish in a shallow baking dish, cover with marinade, and let sit for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat broiler and set rack about 3 inches from broiler.
4. Broil fish for 10-12 minutes—the rule of thumb is to cook each inch of fish for 10 minutes, but be sure to keep an eye on your oven as the broiler can quickly burn the top of fish.
5. Baste with remaining marinade once or twice while broiling.
6. Use any remaining marinade as a sauce and serve.
