Best 5 Dr Andrew Weils Grilled Or Broiled Salmon Recipes
**Grilled or Broiled Salmon: A Healthful and Flavorful Dish**
Salmon is a delicious and versatile fish that is packed with nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamin D. It is also a good source of potassium, selenium, and niacin. This article features two recipes for grilled or broiled salmon that are simple to prepare and incredibly flavorful. The first recipe, Dr. Andrew Weil's Grilled Salmon, uses a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs to create a moist and succulent fish. The second recipe, Broiled Salmon with Lemon and Dill, is a classic preparation that highlights the natural flavor of salmon. Both recipes are served with a variety of sides, including roasted vegetables, quinoa, and a tangy yogurt sauce. With its delicate texture and rich flavor, grilled or broiled salmon is a perfect choice for a healthy and satisfying meal.
DR. ANDREW WEIL'S GRILLED OR BROILED SALMON
This recipe is based on one from Dr. Andrew Weil's book, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health. Use wild salmon for optimum health benefits as it tastes better and is more nutritious, and eating it does not have the environmental impact of eating farmed salmon, nor the health risks associated with it. Cook time doesn't include the 1-3 hours marinating time in the 'fridge. This makes a great meal with rice and a cooked vegetable or salad.

EASY BROILED SALMON
This delightful recipe appeared in one of DH's business magazines. It is both easy and delicious. Coating the salmon with mayonnaise before broiing keeps it moist and imparts wonderful flavor. You can use low-fat mayonnaise in this recipe. The recipe also works with swordfish, tuna, or halibut steaks. Steaks are preferred over fillets as they have an even thickness making for even cooking.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, and paprika in a bowl. Smear almost one-half on one side of salmon lightly.
- Broil salmon about 3 inches from flame for 4 minutes.
- Turn steaks and smear rest of dressing mixture on them. This coating should be a bit heavier than that on the other side. Broil for another 4 minutes.
- NOTE: Don't be afraid to substitute other mustards for the Dijon. I found a mustard with dill that works perfectly. I also like the Jack Daniels mustard. Or substitute 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard with lemon pepper for the paprika.

DR. ANDREW WEIL'S EASY POACHED SALMON
This recipe is from Dr. Andrew Weil's book, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health. When I made this I used too small a pan to take all the vegetables and the salmon, so the tops of my salmon were not covered in liquid; this worked for us because DH is a sashimi connoisseur so he went for the least done piece. I also was surprised to discard the vegetables! I nibbled on the delicious carrot slices, though! And yes, this is an easy dish and the salmon came out just great! :)

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon possible: Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a bright, vibrant color.
- Use a good quality olive oil: This will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful.
- Season the salmon with simple spices: Salt, pepper, and lemon pepper are all good options.
- Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through: Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, grilled lemon wedges, or a simple green salad are all good options.
- If you are using a cast iron skillet, make sure it is well-seasoned before cooking the salmon. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking.
- If you are grilling the salmon, cook it over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Grilled or broiled salmon is a healthy and delicious meal that can be easily prepared at home. By following these tips, you can cook salmon that is moist, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give grilled or broiled salmon a try. You won't be disappointed!
