Made in the Active Wellness Kitchen

No one will remain long on an eating plan if the food isn't satisfying. At Active Wellness, we've put as much time and thought into creating tasty, nutritious dishes, as we have in developing our programs in nutrition, stress reduction and exercise.

Cooking Classes

Because there's more to healthy cooking than lean meats, broiled chicken, steamed vegetables and low-fat cooking spray, Active Wellness offers professional one-on-one or group instruction on healthy cooking and food preparation techniques. Instruction includes recipes for soups, pasta dishes, meat and vegetarian entrees plus salads, salad dressings, side dishes and desserts along with special recipes that meet your specific medical or health needs.

Personal Chef Service

For those who'd rather have someone else prepare Active Wellness meals for them in their homes, we can provide Active Wellness cooking instruction for your cook, or provide a personal chef to prepare healthy gourmet meals on a daily or weekly basis.


Active Wellness Recipe:

Roasted or Grilled Salmon with Creamy Lime Dressing
Serves 4

Ingredients for marinade:

1/4 cup (2 fl.oz./60ml) honey                    1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup (2 fl.oz./60ml) fresh lime juice       1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 cup nonfat yogurt                                  1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
4 - 5 oz. Salmon steaks or filets
1 bunch Green Grapes (optional, see serving suggestion)

Directions

1. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a glass bowl and whisk well until creamy. Set 1/2 the marinade aside to serve with cooked salmon.
2. Coat the salmon steaks or filets with the marinade 1-2 hours prior to serving. Keep in refrigerator to marinate.
3. Before cooking, preheat oven to 375 degrees farenheit or prepare grill for cooking.
4. Cook Salmon on grill or in oven for 15 - 20 minutes ( 20 minutes per inch of Salmon).
5. Warm excess marinade in small pot over grill or on stove top over a very low heat while salmon is cooking (warm for 3 - 5 minutes). Sauce should be warm to touch.

Serving suggestions:

Sprinkle sliced green grapes on top of salmon (3-4 grapes per serving), serve with extra marinade on the side, fresh or cooked greens and roasted new potatoes.

Enjoy!
