Pepper Crusted Salmon
This delicious salmon, packed with brain- and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, is a favourite at home. Use a good quality pepper mill to coarsely grind the fresh pepper for this recipe—it makes a big difference.
Red Rice and Leek Casserole with White Wine and Lemon
High in vitamin C and iron, leeks belong to the allium family of vegetables, which is thought to play a role in cancer and heart disease prevention.
Grilled Tofu with Sautéed Greens
My vegetarian dinner guests love this dish and so do I! Feel free to use other greens in place of the spinach, such as bok choy or Swiss chard. If you don’t have black sesame seeds, regular white sesame seeds work just as well.
Quinoa-Stuffed Red Bell Peppers
Pale yellow quinoa is the most widely available variety of this whole grain, though some natural food stores carry a dark reddish-brown variety. Both are prepared the same way. If you want a more colourful dish, use equal parts yellow and red quinoa.
Salmon with White Wine, Lemon and Garlic
The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada recommends that adults consume fish, especially fatty fish such as salmon, at least twice a week. Salmon is not only packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, it also leads the pack when it comes to vitamin D.
Falafel Wrap with Lemon Tahini Sauce
Falafels are often deep-fried which gives them a crunchy texture, but also extra calories. This recipe uses a little oil for pan-frying, which results in a crispy texture with less added fat.
Sesame Ginger Stir-Fried Tofu with Bok Choy and Brown Rice
This high-fibre vegetarian dish is packed with flavor and nutrients. It’s an excellent source of vitamin C, folate, calcium, magnesium, potassium and beta carotene!
Grilled Chicken with Tomato Cilantro Citrus Salsa
Skinless chicken breast doesn't have to be boring. This recipe combines lean chicken breast with antioxidant-rich tomatoes and heart-healthy avocado for Mediterranean-inspired meal.
Grilled Balsamic Portabello Mushrooms
Portabello mushrooms have a meaty texture and rich flavour, making them a tasty vegetarian alternative to a steak or a beef burger. I also like to add sliced grilled portabellos to a platter of mixed grilled vegetables. So easy and so delicious.
Snapper with Cajun Rub
These flavourful snaper fillets are low in fat and sodium.
