Easy Marinade Glaze

This is my go-to "I have chicken defrosted but what the heck should I do with it?" recipe.
I use it on Salmon, Chicken, and Pork Chops..it's great on all three!  It's a sweet/natural sugar recipe, so be sure to use it when consuming a lot of protein, this way your glucose levels won't spike as much.

Sweet Marinade Glaze

1/2 cup Natural Honey

1/4 cup Organic Balsamic Vinegar

Heat honey in a small sauce pot over low-medium heat.  Once honey has thinned out, add balsamic and mix together.  Let sit on heat for 1min, then cool for 1min before adding to meat as a marinade.

Marinate meat for 1-1.5hrs.  I pour sauce into the baking dish with the meat and cook it in the sauce as well.

*Amounts will vary depending on the amount of meat you're cooking. I use this as a base for about 1lb of chicken and go from there.  

Enjoy!

"Fried" Flounder

This is a great way to feel like you're eating what the rest of America eats, but still stay clean and healthy!

Paleo "Fish sticks"- Good!

"Fish Sticks"- Bad 

Ingredients:
* Flounder Filets- enough to feed everyone who's eating. Usually 1/4-1/2lb per person
* Eggs
* Almond Meal
* Herbs such as Basil, Parsley, Oregano, etc.

Preheat oven to 425degrees.
Grease a baking dish.  Beat eggs in a medium sized bowl (For 1.5lbs of Flounder I used 3 eggs).  Next to the bowl, pour Almond Meal on a dinner plate and mix in herbs as desired.
Rinse Flounder to make sure it's clean.
Dip filets, one at a time, in the almond meal, lightly coating each one.
Dunk each filet into the egg mixture, then coat again with Almond Meal.  Do this for each filet, placing it into the baking dish when complete.
Bake for 10-15mins depending on thickness of the Flounder.  It should flake apart easily once it's done.
Let cool for 2-5mins and enjoy!

Pistachio Encrusted Salmon

Thanks, Rita for this amazing recipe!

Ingredients:
* Wild Caught Salmon Filet (enough to feed number of people who will be eating. Usually 1/2lb- 1lb per person)
* Dijon Spicy Mustard
* Unsalted/Roasted Pistachios

Preheat Oven to 375degrees.
Clean the salmon and place in a glass baking dish.  Coat salmon with a thin layer of mustard.
Crush pistachio's in a food processor until they're crumb-like.  Sprinkle pistachios over salmon until you're no longer able to see the mustard.
Bake for approx. 20mins until salmon is dark pink and flakes when a fork is inserted.
Enjoy!
