Easy Fat Burning Recipes (17): Pan-Grilled Salmon with Pineapple Salsa


Lean protein is essential to any successful weight-loss plan. And there's no better source of lean protein than salmon, which has the added benefit of being filled with monounsaturated fats.

These healthy fats have been shown to be a natural aid to weight loss. A 2001 study, for instance, found that people eating a MUFA-rich diet lost an average of nine pounds, while their counterparts on a low-fat diet gained six, on average.


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1/2-inch thick)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
Combine first 5 ingredients (through pepper) in a bowl; set aside.
Heat a nonstick grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish with salt. Cook fish 4 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily when tested with a fork. Top with salsa.
