Simple Grilled Salmon - 1g Carbs, <1g Fiber
From www.diabetesselfmanagement.com
The American Heart Association recommends that people with
coronary heart disease eat fish (particularly fatty fish,
like salmon) at least twice a week. Fatty fish is a good
source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. This fast,
single-serving salmon recipe can easily help a person up
his fish intake. If winter weather doesn’t permit outdoor
grilling, you can prepare this recipe on an indoor electric
grill or under the broiler in your oven.
Preparation time: 2 minutes
Cooking time: approximately 12 minutes (cooking time may
be increased or decreased depending on the fillet’s thickness)
1/4 tsp olive oil
1 (4-oz) salmon fillet
Pinch of salt
Pinch of lemon pepper
Wedge of lemon
Preheat grill to medium heat. Rub olive oil over salmon,
coating evenly. Sprinkle with salt and lemon pepper. Grill
salmon over medium heat about 6 minutes on each side, or
until it flakes easily when pierced with a fork (for ease
in turning salmon, a grill basket coated with cooking spray
or a wide metal spatula can be used). Remove any skin.
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
