I hope everyone’s New Year is off to a wonderful start! With so many people making resolutions to get healthier, I thought this would be the perfect time to share a recipe that is as nourishing and healthy as it is delicious. It’s the kind of meal you’d get in a spa for lunch if you were taking the whole day to pamper yourself.
This meal is full of superfoods; actually, seven ingredients from this recipe are considered superfoods in Superfoods Power Collection: Vibrant Health by Charles W. James, and two ingredients are weight loss superfoods. A little bit about this book…
It’s comprised of six volumes, each devoted to a different set of superfoods:
Volume 1: Weight Loss Superfoods
Volume 2: Diabetes-Fighting Superfoods
Volume 3: Memory-Boosting Superfoods
Volume 4: Cholesterol-Kicking Superfoods
Volume 5: IBS-Kicking Superfoods
Volume 6: Cancer-Fighting Superfoods
Each volume lists seven top superfoods in that category, starting out by introducing the food and explaining why it is a superfood. Foods are explained in an engaging, interesting way that is easy to understand. Suggestions are given for how to introduce each food into your diet, which I found to be one of the most useful aspects of the book. Also, tips are listed for purchasing these foods so you know you’re getting the best ingredients, and in turn the maximum benefits from these foods.
If you’re interested in purchasing the entire collection, it’s a huge bargain: only $6.99 for the Kindle edition on Amazon! If you’re only interested in purchasing a couple volumes à la carte, the price is $2.99 for each on Amazon…so if there are at least two volumes you want, it’s just about worth it to buy the whole collection.
If you’d like to win a copy of Superfoods Power Volume 1: Weight Loss Superfoods, the author Charles James is generously providing an eBook copy to everyone who leaves a comment on this giveaway while it is open for one week! He is also providing a lovely superfood basket (valued at almost $100) to one lucky winner. Scroll down for more details and instructions on how to enter.
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 2 wild salmon fillets (about 6 oz/170 g each)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons almond meal
- 1 teaspoon reserved grapefruit juice
- 1 teaspoon honey (more or less to taste)
- 1 pinch dried ginger
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 small pinch sea salt
- 1 grapefruit, supremed with juice reserved (see note below for directions how to supreme a grapefruit)
- 4 cups (4 oz/115 g) mixed salad greens
- 1 scallion, white and green parts, thinly sliced
- For the salmon, heat the coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and sprinkle the almond meal on both sides, pressing it in. When the skillet is hot, add the salmon and cook until browned, about 2 minutes on each side, then cover the skillet, turn off the heat, and leave it for 3 minutes to steam the inside of the fish.
- For the grapefruit relish, mix together 1 teaspoon grapefruit juice with the honey, ginger, pepper and salt in a small bowl. Stir in the grapefruit segments.
- To assemble the salads, divide the salad greens between 2 plates; place each piece of salmon in the center of each plate. Divide the grapefruit relish between the 2 plates and sprinkle the scallion on top. Serve immediately.

I don’t like to make resolutions, because if their is one thing that being on a weight loss mission has taught me it’s that: You don’t need to wait for a certain date to make permanent healthy changes to your life. :)
I would like a copy,
I would love a copy. Thanks for the giveaway!
Yes, I would like a copy of Superfoods. It’s just what I’ve been looking for!
The Superfoods book sounds fantastic. Can’t wait to read it.
I’d like a copy! I don’t normally make new year’s resolutions.
The older I get the less likely I am to make resolutions. For me it’s more about long-term changes that are positive and do-able. Over at thespicyrd (EA Stewart) she has a bucket list up, that although I hate the name bucket list, is an interesting way of approaching that January push for change that we all seem to feel. On my bucket list is to put together an ebook of low fibre recipes for cancner patients and those with IBD, as well as to get and crucially *stay* more organised, and to say ‘yes’ to anything vaguely interesting or different (and legal, I should add!). It goes without saying that I think the Superfoods book sounds great and your recipe looks well yummy – and easy too, love the almond crust idea. I guess I am too far away to win the goodies though :(
I do not make new years resoolutions!
I would LOVE a copy of Superfoods Power Volume 1: Weight Loss Superfoods by Charles W. James.
A very happy new year to you as well!
Oh, we love salmon, and this dish looks just super yummy! Will try it for sure!
(Oh, and I would like a copy of the e-book. Thank you guys also for that!)
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions.
This salmon looks delicious, fresh and healthy, Faith! What a well-balanced and tasty meal!

I usually make new years resolutions, but this year I’m trying to make them more practical. For example, I’d like to eat fish once a week this year. So, this recipe would be a great start!

My son is a bee pollen lover and my daughter and I have been investigating it. There are warnings (allergic reactions) so we read to start with just one tiny one first. Love to see it used here, Faith.
Happy New Year!

And while on principle I dislike resolutions, I do love goals. And getting healthy and lean is one of them.
I would love a copy of the book. And wish I had seen your blog post before I ate dinner. I was making salmon but couldn’t decide what to do with it. End up going with the tried and true broiling method with evoo and S&P. So boring.
What a fun giveaway! I would love an eBook copy of this ode to superfoods :)
I’ve never supremed a grapefruit before – now I want to try it!

I’m not big into new year resolutions but I do have more of a “5 year plan” that I follow.
I would love a copy, thanks!
I’d love to get my hands on that ebook! Thanks to you both! :)
Mmmm, now you have me dreaming of a spa day with this as lunch…! Happy New Year, friend!!!
That is a fantastic dish and awesome give-away Faith! Great way to kick off 2013!
I would love to have a copy! :-) What a good and healthy giveaway. :-)
I don’t make formal resolutions, but always have ongoing priorities to eat wisely and to declutter.
I would love a copy of Superfoods Power Volume 1. Thank you both very much

I don’t tend to make specific New Year’s Resolutions, but I recent years, I have adopted the habit of focusing on one word as something I’d like to welcome in the New Year (e.g. Acceptance, Abundance, Gratitude…)
I would be interested in reading this book.
I try not to make special resolutions.

I use the New Year as an opportunity to reflect on changes I can make it my life. I don’t make resolutions per se, but set goals for myself to grow and improve.
I would love a copy of Superfoods Power Volume 1: Weight Loss Superfoods ebook!
I sometimes kind of make resolutions, or just think of things I want to keep in mind thorough the year. 2013 is officially The Year to Be Brave!
I want a copy of the book because it has been a very dessert-heavy holiday for me and some weight loss would probably be a good thing…
I dont make resolutions
Iwould love to add this to my reading and hopefully learn a few things.

The salad is so pretty so fresh! I love the idea of incorporating so many superfoods. I would like the book because I always enjoy reading about healthy eating & living!!
