adapted from: http://www.publix.com/wellness/notes/Display.do?id=Recipe&childId=HYPN3_000005
Serves 4.
1.5 lbs of salmon
2 cans of 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (no salt added)
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 small orange bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 seeded and diced jalapeno
1 tsp dried oregano
2 garlic cloves, chopped
juce of 3 limes
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Preheat oven to 425 F. Oil a 9x9 pan w/ olive oil. Chop vegetables and put in a bowl. (If the peppers make your skin feel uncomfortable due to the pepper oil, apparently you can rub your fingers with olive oil to prevent the hot oil from irritating your skin). Mix with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Drain one of the cans of tomatoes. Add tomatoes. Add the other can of tomatoes with the tomato juice. Mix. Place salmon in the pan, skin side down if the skin is still attached. Lightly salt and pepper the fish. Spoon the salsa mixture on top of the fish. There will be enough to fill the bottom of the pan. Do not cover. Put in the oven for 15 minutes. Check with a fork. If it is opaque and flakes, it is done. If not, replace for 5 minute increments until the fish is fully cooked.
Broccolini w/ Olive Oil and Garlic
Serves 3.
1 lb. Broccolini
3 cloves of garlic
2 TB of olive oil
Cut off broccolini stems, but leave the florets (they should be about 4 inches long after chopping). Boil broccolini for 6 minutes. Heat oil in pan. Stir in garlic. Drain broccolini. Stir fry for 5 minutes. Super easy!

Broccolini
Broccolini is a crispy and crunchy veggie that is a cross between a chinese broccoli and regular broccoli. I don't think it has as bitter of a flavor as regular broccoli, but it's not as soft as reguar broccoli either. You have to boil it because it's a pretty tough vegetable. From what I've read, if you don't boil it, it will be really tough to chew. Broccolini contains vitamins A and C, iron, folate, and calcium. Pretty good for you! Broccolini looks a lot like broccoli rabe, but without all the leaves. And broccoli rabe isn't even related to broccoli :)
