Grilled Salmon with Kale Saute
In this healthy dinner recipe, salmon fillets are seasoned with a zesty dry rub, grilled and served with a simple side--lemon-seasoned sautéed kale and shallots. Sometimes simple is best!
Ingredients:
- 2 (5 ounce) fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillets, about 1 inch thick
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- 6 ounces fresh kale, torn (discard stems)
- ½ teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
- dash salt
- lemon wedges
Directions:
- Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside. In a small bowl, stir together thyme, garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle tops of fillets evenly with seasoning mixture.
- For a charcoal grill, place fish on the greased grill rack directly over medium coals. If desired, cover grill grate with foil before placing fish. Grill, uncovered, for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork, turning fish once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place fish on a greased grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as directed.) Cover fish to keep warm.
- In a Dutch oven, cook the shallot and garlic in hot oil over medium heat for 2 to 4 minutes or until tender. Add kale and lemon peel. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes more or just until kale begins to wilt, turning with long-handled tongs to cook. Sprinkle with the dash salt. Serve salmon with kale and lemon wedges.

Shrimp Scampi Zoodles
Classic garlicky shrimp scampi gets a low-carb makeover in this easy dinner recipe. Zucchini noodles, also known as "zoodles," are a healthier alternative to traditional pasta—they mimic the texture of pasta while taking on the flavor of whatever sauce you serve them with. Make sure you salt and drain the zoodles, otherwise your final dish will be soupy and the flavor will be diluted.
Shrimp Fajitas
Serve with the warm flour tortillas (I like to wrap a stack of tortillas in foil and warm on the grill) and sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, cheese and lime wedges.
