You've heard the saying, the more fish you eat, the smarter you are. And while that might be a little embellished, fish can be an excellent source of protein for your brain. Dr. Annie Fenn, who wrote the new cookbook, The Brian Health Kitchen, stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about her recipe for slow-roasted salmon, which she says can really help in the fight against Alzheimer's Disease. Dr. Annie told Tonia not only is this a healthy recipe, but it sure is delicious as well.
From Wild For Salmon
While the oven preheats to 300ºF, I’ll scatter sliced fennel bulbs or onions on a rimmed baking sheet. I place a side of salmon, skin side down, on top of the vegetables and rub it with olive oil and salt. While it roasts in the oven (for about 25 to 35 minutes), I’ll make a quick Green Tahini sauce in a blender: tahini, parsley, lemon juice, salt and a small clove of garlic. When the salmon is done, I scatter the fennel fronds over the top and drizzle it with the tahini sauce. And, my quickest salmon recipe involves poaching a filet of salmon in a shallow pan with a small amount of olive oil and white wine.
