If you want to eat healthfully, you’ll want to cook. Maybe not every night but some of the time. Everyone who cooks is always looking for inspiration. We have been absolutely besieged by SuperFoodsRx fans looking for healthy recipes that feature the SuperFoods. Both of our previous books included terrific recipes created by accomplished chefs. SuperFood fans loved these recipes but they wanted more. We are really excited to introduce in the SuperFoodsRx Diet the ‘dream team’ of recipe developers – the SuperFoodsRx Kitchen. That’s our name for the extraordinary team we’ve assembled to create the most appealing, healthy, mouth-watering – and yes, easy – recipes you could ever imagine.

The most important thing to know about the SuperFoods Rx Kitchen is that the recipes will be delicious, easy, healthy and appealing. Most important, they are not afraid of simple. Anyone who has ever roasted a vegetable knows that sometimes a recipe need have no more than two ingredients to be fabulous.

We will be sharing these mouthwatering recipes with you through the regular “Healthy Feels Great” newsletter, as well as featuring many of them throughout this web site.

Best of all, we are working on a brand new cookbook, which will feature the very best recipes developed by the SuperFoodsRx Kitchen and by the thousands of cooks who know the nutritional power of the superfoods.

Chipotle-Glazed Alaska Salmon with Spicy Peanut Salsa

Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves

2 guajillo or ancho chiles, stemmed, seeded and torn in large pieces
2 cups salted peanuts, skinless, roasted
5 canned chipotle chiles, removed from the canning liquid
salt, as needed
1/2 cup honey
8 ea., 5 to 6 oz Alaska Salmon fillets
Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped for garnish

Directions:
THE SALSA: In a dry skillet, roast the garlic over medium heat, turning occasionally until soft and blackened in spots, about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool; peel. In the same skillet toast the chiles, using a spatula to press them against the heated surface until aromatic - you may see faint whisps of smoke. Cover with hot water and rehydrate for 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender with the garlic, peanuts, and 3 of the canned chipotles. Pour in water to the level of the peanuts and blend to a smooth puree. If necessary, stir in more water to give the mixture the consistency of an easily spoonable salsa. Season with salt, usually about 1/2 tsp.

THE SALMON: Heat a broiler. In a food processor combine the remaining 2 chipotle chiles with the honey and 1/2 tsp salt. Puree. Lay the fillets on a lightly oiled baking sheet and position 4 inches below the broiler. Broil 2 minutes, flip the pieces of fish and return to the broiler for 2 more minutes. Brush heavily with the glaze, return under the broiler and cook until as done as you like, usually 2 more minutes for medium to medium-rare salmon. Serve with the peanut salsa and a sprinkling of chopped cilantro.
