Basa Filet with Creamy Romesco Sauce

Looking for new fish recipes? This Basa filet served with a creamy Romesco sauce is delicious.

Ingredients: 
• 4 basa filets
• 1 cup almond flour*
• 4 eggs, beaten
• Adam’s Reserve Classic Steak Rub**
• 1 small carton Silk Soy Creamer
• 1 jar Canyon Romesco Sauce
• 1/4 cup coconut oil

Mix Adam’s Rub with almond flour. Dip filets in beaten eggs then in almond flour mixture. Preheat skillet, then add coconut oil. Cook filets for 3-4 minutes per side. In a separate sauce pan, bring creamer to a low boil and allow to boil for 3-4 minutes, avoiding scorching. Lower heat and whisk in the jar of Romesco sauce, 1 tablespoon Adam’s Steak Rub, and 2 tablespoons almond flour. Spoon sauce over filets. Enjoy!
*Almond flour can be purchased at some specialty grocers or can be made by placing 3 cups of blanched, sliced almonds in a food processor and processing until smooth.

Yields approximately 2 cups of flour

**Adam’s Reserve spices are exclusive to HEB. If unavailable locally, substitute any herb blend according to preferred taste.

Romesco sauce is a classic sauce from the Catalonia region of Spain. The combination of sweet, smokey roasted peppers, roasted garlic and almonds is excellent when added to pasta for a quick meal. This pungent sauce is thick enough to spread on crostini, but also can be added to rice or polenta. It’s marvelous with grilled or steamed vegetables, seafood and chicken.

Lemon Grass Copper River Salmon

This is a simple, yeast free, fish recipe using delicious, fresh Copper River Salmon from HEB.

Ingredients:
• Copper River Salmon
• “Texas on the Plate” Lemon Grass Pesto

Directions: Spread the Lemon Grass pesto on the salmon and place in an oven safe dish. Bake salmon for 10 minutes per one inch thickness at 450 degrees. A typical filet of wild salmon would take about 12 minutes to cook.

Don’t bake your fish longer at a lower temperature; that method tends to dry the fish out.
Sautée.

Spinach and Garlic

Here’s a delicious spinach and garlic recipe that cooks up in a jiffy. It only takes about three minutes from start to finish!

Ingredients:
• 1 lb fresh baby spinach, organic if available (freshly washed, dried thoroughly)
• 6 fresh garlic cloves, peeled
• 4 Tbsp Coconut oil
• ½ cup toasted Pine Nuts (toasting instructions below)
• 1 whole lemon, seeds removed

Place garlic and coconut oil in a large skillet on high heat. Sauté garlic until golden brown but do not burn. Add spinach and toss gently. (It will look like there is not enough room in your skillet, but the spinach will wilt quickly.) Then drizzle with fresh lemon juice. It will steam so be careful not to burn yourself. Add the pine nuts, tossing one more time. Remove from heat while is wilted, do not overcook.

Toasting pine nuts: Place pine nuts in a shallow skillet over medium heat. Toss continuously until goldenbrown. Inspiration for this recipe is from Sanoviv Medical Institute. You can find more delicious, yeast-free recipes in our Yeast Detox book.

Almond Pie Crust

As a nice alternative to the traditional wheat-based pie crust, this almond flour pie crust is equally tasty.

Ingredients: 
– 2/3 cup coconut oil
– ¼ cup water
– 1 tsp. sea salt
– 2-2 ¼ cup almond flour

Mix above ingredients together and then roll out onto wax paper with a small amount of the almond flour to prevent sticking. Since the almond flour is not as porous as wheat flour, you may need to press it into the pie plate. Crimp edges. If needs to be half-baked, then bake it at 400 F for 6-8 minutes.

This is great with pumpkin pie.
