This is one of my favorite Healthiest Way of Eating recipes. The health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids from the halibut help to reduce inflammation and the shiitake mushrooms not only enhance the flavor of this recipe but also builds a strong immune system.

Prep and Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients:

3/4 lb halibut cut into 2 pieces
1/4 cups light vegetable broth
1/4 cup mirin rice wine*
3 medium cloves garlic, chopped
1 TBS soy sauce
1 TBS fresh lemon juice
1 TBS minced fresh ginger
2 cups fresh shitake mushrooms, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 cup coarsely chopped scallion
salt and white pepper to taste
*mirin is a sweet Japanese rice wine without the alcohol content; you can find it in many of your local health food stores or in the Japanese section of your local grocery store.

Directions:

Chop garlic and let sit for 5 minutes to enhance their health-promoting properties.
Bring the broth and mirin wine to a simmer on medium-high heat in a 10-inch skillet.
Add garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, ginger, scallions, and mushrooms.
Place halibut steaks on top, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes, depending on thickness (5 minutes for every 1/2" of thickness). Season with salt and pepper. Remove steaks and place on a plate. Spoon scallions and mushroom broth over fish and serve.

This is a great Mediterranean-style salad. The bulgur does not need to be cooked, just softened, because it has already been steamed, dried, and cracked. Enjoy!

Prep and Cook Time: 30 minutes

1 cup wheat bulgur (dry), makes 2 cups after combining with liquid
1/2 medium onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, press or chopped
3 cups minced fresh parsley
1 medium tomato, chopped
3 TBS extra virgin olive oil
1 TBS fresh lemon juice or wine vinegar
sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Place 1 cup wheat bulgur and salt to taste in a bowl. Pour 2 cups boiling water or broth over the bulgur, stir once and let sit for 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
Mince onion and press or chop garlic and let sit for 5 minutes to bring out their hidden health properties.
Combine all ingredients and mix well.For added flavor you may want to add more olive oil and lemon juice.
