Alkaline Diet Recipe #99: Marinated Salmon Fillet Asian Style

For the last alkaline recipe going out to all of you this year I thought to include a delicious marinated salmon recipe, which can be used as a healthier alternative for your Christmas meal!

Salmon is my favourite type of fish and this recipe has got an abundance of different flavours given by the Asian herbs and spices used as a marinade. Salmon is a particularly good “oily” type of fish to use, as it is high in protein, Vitamin D and most importantly the Omega-3 fatty acids. These are essential for good health and should be included as much as possible on the acid/alkaline diet.

I hope you enjoy this delicious and flavoursome recipe, which is perfect if you want to make your Christmas meal more alkaline and this little bit more special at the same time!

Please note: If you want to use this recipe on a particular day you need to prepare this dish two days before, as the marinade needs to soak into the fish.

Marinated Salmon Fillet Asian Style

Serves 4

Ingredients

800g salmon fillet with skin
30g fresh coriander
2 red chillies
1 tbsp black peppercorns
50g fresh ginger
2 lemongrass stalks
Fresh lime peel from 4 organic/unwaxed limes
2 tbsp Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
20g Himalayan Crystal Salt or Celtic Sea Salt
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 handful of sesame seeds

Instructions

For the marinade wash the coriander, drain it and hack it into fine pieces. Crush the peppercorns in a mortar, wash the chillies, halve and deseed them and cut into fine pieces.

Wash the lemongrass and cut into thin slices. Wash the ginger and cut into small dices.

Mix the coriander with the lime peel, ginger, lemongrass, pepper, chilli, salt, oyster and Bragg’s Liquid Aminos.

Lay the salmon fillet skin side down into a form which the salmon fits in and spread the marinade evenly over the salmon filet. Cover the salmon with cling film and let the marinade soak in for two days in the fridge.

Roast the sesame seeds in a frying pan without any fat until they turn golden. Remove the whole marinade from the salmon fillet after two days and sprinkle the sesame seeds onto the salmon.

To serve cut the salmon into thin slices.

Merry Christmas!

Alkaline Diet Recipe #83: Kale Chickpea Mash

Have you ever thought about making a delicious mash without using potatoes and making it a bit more interesting?

This recipe is absolutely delicious and uses very healthy and highly alkaline ingredients like kale, garlic and chickpeas.

This mash has got an abundance of different flavours given by the thyme and shallots.

You can serve this as a main course or as a side dish with fresh fish.

Kale Chickpea Mash

Serves 2 as a main dish
Serves 4 as a side dish

Ingredients

3 tbsp garlic, cut into small pieces
1 shallot, cut into small pieces
1 bunch kale
400g fresh chickpeas (cooked per instructions)
2 tbsp Bragg Liquid Aminos (alternative: soy sauce)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
1/2 tsp of fresh or dried thyme
Celtic sea salt or Himalayan crystal salt, to taste

Instructions

Gently fry the shallot and minced garlic in olive oil on medium-high heat until it turns golden brown. Be careful not to burn it, as the garlic becomes bitter tasting otherwise.

Add the washed and drained kale and stir in the oil, onion and garlic. After the kale has wilted a bit, add the chick peas and cook for about 6 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Begin mashing the chickpeas with a fork. You can mash them as fine as you like your mash to be.

Enjoy!

Alkaline Recipe #61: Mixed Vegetables with Sesame Seeds

Do you fancy a light and healthy dish which is packed with alkaline vegetables? If so then this is the perfect dish for you!

This is a dish which is not only delicious, healthy and nutritious, but also alkaline at the same time. The added sesame seeds give this dish a lovely texture and crunchiness.

You can enjoy it as a starter or as main course accompanied with brown basmati rice or gently steamed salmon.

Mixed Vegetables with Sesame Seeds

50g peeled sesame seeds
400g carrots
700g broccoli
300g leeks
4 sticks of celery
3 tbsp rape seed oil
Himalayan crystal salt or celtic sea salt
Fresh ground pepper

Instructions

Roast the sesame seeds in a frying pan without using any oil at low heat until golden brown. Stir occassionally.

Peel the carrots, clean them and cut into thin pieces. Cut off the flower heads from the broccoli stalk. Peel the stalk and cut into small pieces. Wash the broccoli flower heads.

Remove the outer leaves of the leeks, cut off the end parts and the dark green leaves. Cut each leek into halves, wash them thoroughly and cut them into strips. Remove the leaves, end parts and hard strings of the celery sticks, wash them and cut them into thin slices.

Either gently steam the carrots, celery and the broccoli or bring water to the boil in a large pot with a pinch of salt and quickly blanche the vegetables in boiling water for about 3 minutes. Put the vegetables into a colander, briefly pour cold water over them and drain the water.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or Wok. Add all the vegetables and stir-fry them at medium heat for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle the roasted sesame seeds over the dish.
