Grilled or broiled salmon

Salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids, which may help prevent heart disease. Other omega-3 sources include sardines, herring and mackerel.

Ingredients

1 cup sake (Japanese rice wine)
1/2 cup natural soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
2 cloves fresh garlic, pressed
1 tablespoon dark-brown sugar
Salmon fillets (allow 6 ounces per person)
Lemon wedges (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare the marinade by mixing the sake, the soy sauce (a reduced-sodium variety if you prefer), the ginger, the garlic, and the dark-brown sugar.
2. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water, place in a glass or ceramic dish, and pour the marinade over it. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours, spooning the liquid over any exposed parts of the fish once or twice.
3. Prepare the grill or preheat the broiler to high heat.
4. Drain the fish and place on foil on grill or rack in oven. Cook about 12 minutes or until desired doneness (it should be flaky), but do not overcook.
