Try out this delicious recipe. I’ve had it for breakfast a few times. It is simple, fast, and will get you fueled for a busy day.

Ingredients

3 eggs
3 basil leaves, chopped
3 sprigs of italian parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of butter
salt
pepper

Other Items Needed

skillet
measuring cup
fork
slotted turner 

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, crack three eggs into a measuring cup. Using a fork beat the eggs. Mix the basil and parsley in with the egg. Use your best judgement on the amount of salt and pepper that you prefer.

Once fully heated, place the tablespoon of butter in the skillet and give it a good swirl to coat the bottom. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Use a slotted turner to push the egg around until it starts to solidify. Transfer to a plate once the consistency is to your liking.

Enjoy!

( I used to call a “slotted turner” a spatula. Corrected myself after some quick research. It’s basically the tool you use to flip hamburgers. I’ve even seen the same task done with a fork. Not the best idea if you use non-stick. Have to protect the coating! )

My asian glazed salmon recipe is full of flavor yet light on the calories. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 salmon filet, skin removed
• 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard or a brown mustard
• 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 6 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon of minced garlic
• non-stick cooking spray
• silicon basting pastry brush

Spray stove top or electric stand-alone grill with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the salmon from sticking.

As the grill heats, lay the salmon onto a cutting board and cut it into equal pieces. It will vary on how many depending on the size of the filet. Whisk together the Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl.

Generously brush the marinade onto the salmon pieces, which should still be on the cutting board. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Place the salmon onto the grill and brush on more marinade. After 4 to 5 minutes, flip the salmon carefully and baste the salmon again. Grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the salmon to a plate and serve.

I created this recipe to add a little variety to the low calorie lifestyle. This provides great tasting fish sticks without the fat. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 center-cut salmon fillet, skinned
• 1/4 cup of all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup of seasoned bread crumbs with cheese

Other Items Needed

• non-stick cooking spray
• tinfoil
• baking sheet pan

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Cut the salmon into fish stick size strips. Cut the wider pieces in half to ensure that the sticks are all the same size.

Place the flour in a cereal sized bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Place the egg in another bowl and beat it until the egg is of the consistency like you would use to scramble. Now place the bread crumbs in the last bowl.

Coat the salmon pieces in the flour and pat to remove any extra flour. Dip the floured salmon in the egg and then into the bread crumbs until the fish is completely coated.

Cover a baking sheet pan with tinfoil. Lightly spray pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place fish sticks on pan and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
