Ingredients

  1. 8 oz. / 227 g salmon or trout fillets, preferably wild, cut into 2 pieces
  2. 2 Brazil nuts, unsalted
  3. 1 lemon or lime
  4. 1 tsp. / 3 g turmeric or curry blend
  5. ¼ tsp. / ½ g freshly ground black pepper
  6. ⅛ tsp. / ¼ g cayenne pepper
  7. ½ cup / 120 ml dry red wine
  8. 2 tsp. / 9 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  9. ½ tsp. / ¾ g mustard powder
  10. 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  11. 1 cup / 67 g curly/Scotch kale, chopped
  12. 1 cup / 150 g fresh red tomato (whole or cherry), sliced or chopped

Directions

  1. Set oven to ‘broil’.
  2. Grind the Brazil nuts and toast in the oven until golden-brown and fragrant, stirring occasionally to ensure even results and prevent burning.
  3. Meanwhile, zest the lemon or lime, and cut the remaining fruit into large pieces.
  4. Puree together toasted nut meal, lime zest and fruit, turmeric/curry, peppers, half of the wine, and half of the olive oil. Coat fish or tempeh pieces with mixture, and set aside covered.
  5. Mix together remaining olive oil and wine with garlic and mustard powder. Toss mixture with kale leaves and tomato, and set aside covered.
  6. Reset oven to 450°F / 230°C. Line a baking pan with a large sheet of baking parchment (there should be excess parchment on at least 2 sides).
  7. Lay seasoned kale and tomatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, followed by coated salmon. Tent with the baking parchment.
  8. Place in preheated oven, and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are soft and salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  2. Hi, jacq334. Many of these recipes can be simplified – for example, you don’t need to add the nuts, and you can leave out seasonings, too. Otherwise, try doing a search for simpler recipes by typing in the search box in the recipe section any of the following: “basic,” “classic,” “quick,” “easy,” etc.

  3. Hi, Ninn. This entire program is based on principles that are particularly supportive of people with hypoglycemia. We don’t use that word, but “blood sugar balance” and similar terms refer to that as well. We recommend lots of protein and fairly low carbs, with small meals throughout the day, including a night snack.

  4. Hi, Clara. This particular recipe has less than 200 mg per serving. If you are not already, I suggest you use the Menu Planner application to arrange your meals, so that you can select the foods that work for you, an avoid the ones that don’t. The arrangement will take care of the diabetic part. If you wish, I would be happy to analyze your finished menu to make sure you stay under the 1500 mg.
