Heart-Healthy Salmon Recipe From GMA’s Basta Everyday Happy

because 2015 is the year to be healthier..I am sharing with you a heart healthy recipe from Basta Everyday Happy… (press release from our friends at FlyAce)

Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil, Better for the Heart, Better for the Budget, is the heart-healthy, versatile, and value for money cooking oil. Canola Oil is one of the healthiest cooking oils because of its LOW saturated fat (BAD FAT) and high monounsaturated fat (GOOD FAT) content. Jolly Canola Oil has omega 3 and 6 which are good for the heart. It has a pale golden color, light texture, and neutral taste so you can use it for any dish. Jolly Canola Oil also has a high smoking point which makes it ideal for frying.

Hosted by Donita Rose, GMA 7’s Basta Everyday Happy, recently showcased heart-healthy recipes using Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil through the month of December. Eight episodes featured Filipino-favorites such as Beef Stew, Crispy Calamari, and one of Donita’s personal favorites “in the whole wide world” as she shares on Instagram, Crispy Binagoongan. She tells of her Beef Kaldereta version “Pinoy ang lasa pero mas bongga! This is my Better Beefier Caldereta made healthier with Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil!” Other healthy everyday recipes included Wholesome Chicken, Paella, and this Heart-Healthy Salmon recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

For the Salmon:

2 center-cut salmon fillets (6 oz. each)
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ cup finely chopped cilanto
2 Tbsp Jolly Canola oil
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Salsa:

1 medium red onion
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 pcs medium tomatoes
2 firm-ripe avocados
1 pc rip mango
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, or to taste

PROCEDURE:

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow bowl. Toss well with lemon juice, cilantro, Jolly Canola oil, and pepper. Let rest for 15 minutes.
Cook the salmon, skinside down in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan and carefully lifting the salmon with a spatula to loosen it from the pan.
Reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook until the salmon is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. The skin should be crisp and the flesh medium rare.
To make the salsa: Finely chop onion and mince garlic. In a bowl toss onion and garlic with cilantro.
Chop tomatoes and mango, add to onion mixture, tossing to combine.
Peel and pit avocados and cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Add avocados, lime juice, and pepper to taste. Spoon over cooked salmon.

Plan Ahead And Save Money

I am still not back on track. There is so much I want to tell about our pre Holiday vacation at Widus, our simple Holiday (and stress free!) feast.. and a lot more about the year that was and this year that is quickly unfolding!

But before everything, I juts have to share this article because this what we all need right now! So sit back and do some reading before you start computing how much money you still got.
Food With a View — Saving Money on Meals By Planning Ahead

Expensive as they are fun, the Christmas and New Year celebrations may already seem like a distant memory as 2015 is already under way. That’s until you receive your credit card invoice or arrive at the grocery store cash register and are reminded of all the money that you’ve spent or about to part with!

The good news is that there’s plenty of time between now and when the festive season rolls around again. The better news is that there’s time to save money in between on your grocery shopping. You just have to plan ahead.

Take an inventory

Don’t just dash off down to the grocery story with a shopping bag and a fistful of dollars! Take a good look at what you’ve got stored away in your cupboards and fridge freezer before you buy any groceries. Then you can make a list of what you need and avoid buying stuff that you already have in and, ultimately, keep more of those hard-earned dollars for next week’s shop.

Plan your meals for the week

Thinking ahead about what you and the family are going to eat will leave you with more money in your pocket. Look for recipes that use the same ingredients, which will make it less necessary to buy as much of them, or of extra ingredients, so that the foods you already have in last longer. It’s also a chance to save money by buying larger packs of food for certain meals, rather than separately. We all know buying in bulk saves money, right!

Remember to freeze!

Buying fresh food all the time can really ratchet up your shopping bill. Before foods go out of date, store them away in a Hotpoint fridge freezer. You can defrost them for use later.

Manage your money and show willpower

Credit cards are a double-edged sword when it comes to shopping — it’s so gloriously convenient and easy to just place things on the card, which includes stuff that you don’t really need (but feel you must have!). Of course, you’ll have to pay charges for using the card too, and that adds to the expense. Instead, estimate how much your shop should come to and draw out the cash to cover it. Then, when you start shopping, stick to paying in cash and you’ll find that you’re more careful with the money. This remarkable feat of restraint will save you dollars!

It really does pay, almost literally, to plan your meals ahead and what you’ll buy. Don’t forget, saving as you go can leave you with more money at the end of the year for the next big Christmas shop! You wouldn’t want to be without that turkey at Christmas time!
