Healthy Recipes for Nervous System Health

Have you heard it said that fish is brain food? Well, there’s some truth to this.
Cold, deep-water, oily fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, an essential nutrient for the brain
and nervous system. Wild-caught ocean fish pack more of this nutrient than farm-raised ones.
Try this easy summer treat to add fish to your diet. One of my sisters thinks it’s the best way to
cook her favorite fish!

Ingredients

Sauce:
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 cup fresh basil
1 cup fresh lemon basil
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon thyme
Fish:
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. olive oil
4 (6-oz.) salmon steaks

Instructions

To prepare the sauce, blend the first five ingredients in a blender or food processor until the
herbs are finely chopped. Set aside. You may need to add a little extra oil during the process.
Mix the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil together in a small bowl. Using a brush, coat
the salmon with the lemon oil blend.
Grill salmon over medium coals for 5 minutes (you can also broil it, if you don’t have access
to a grill). Turn over. Brush with herb blend. Grill 3 to 5 minutes longer or until fish flakes
easily with a fork. Serve immediately, adding sauce to the fish. Serves 4.
