Health benefits of Marinated Grilled Salmon - Foodie Recipe

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp lower sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small hot chile pepper (Serrano or other), equivalent of 1 Tbsp minced chile pepper
1 Tbsp grated ginger
1 Tbsp minced lemongrass (if you can’t find lemongrass, sub with 1 Tbsp lime juice)
1 Tbsp Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
4 4-ounce skinless salmon filets

Instructions

Prepare an indoor or outdoor grill.
Whisk together all ingredients in a medium sized bowl except salmon.
Pour marinade over salmon, coating both sides. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Remove slamon from marinade. Grill filets 4-6 minutes on each side and discard leftover marinade.
MAKE IT GLUTEN-FREE: Verify that the soy sauce and other ingredients that you are using is gluten-free and this dish can be gluten-free.
CHEF TIP: You can often find herbs and other ingredients like garlic, ginger and lemongrass in squeezable tubes in the produce section. If you need an ingredient like lemongrass that you don’t use often, these are a great way to avoid waste. The best part is that you can freeze them for longer shelf life! Refer to product packaging for details on freezing and storage.
