Cooking Techniques For a Healthy Living

So after you purchased that veggies and healthy ingredients, all you need to do now is cook. But the process of how you cook it can make a lot of difference in your health. Here are some cooking techniques for a healthy living from Sharon Palmer:

Roast Omega 3 Rich Fish
How: Drizzle baking dish with olive oil. Select fresh fish fillets, approximately 1 3 pound per person. Roast fish skin-side down in dish in a 450°F oven until a meat thermometer reaches an internal temperature of 145°F degrees, or 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Properly prepared fish will flake easily with a fork (overcooking makes it dry). Remove from oven; serve immediately.

Crush Garlic
How: Wash and peel the outer papery skins of a clove of garlic and trim ends. To crush: Place clove on a cutting board and lay the flat side of a wide knife against it, pressing down firmly. For easier use in recipes, finely chop the clove, starting at one side. Crush again: Press the flat side of the knife against the chopped garlic firmly, then finely chop again. Let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. Scrape crushed and chopped pieces and juice from cutting board into recipe.
