We have a strong belief that the diet is the cornerstone of optimal health and wellness. Healthy, whole foods recipes will be included within every newsletter. The recipes will range from food intolerance and allergy free recipes to those that will introduce lesser known healthful ingredients. If you have a healthful recipe which you would like to share with our community, please email us the details at info@CNMhealth.com.

Hearty Homemade Hummus
Serves 6

1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans, or 1 15-ounce can
4 ounces silken tofu, well-drained
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
5 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 to 2 cloves fresh garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup sesame tahini
1 1/2 tsp sea salt*
Cumin and paprika to taste
Blend all ingredients in a food processor until desired consistency is achieved. Garnish with a dash of paprika on top. Serve warm or chilled.
• Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn.

Salmon Hazelnut Bake
Serves 1-2

3 tablespoons olive oil
5 to 8 ounces Alaskan Wild Salmon fillet
1/4 cup organic DuChilly hazelnuts, finely chopped
2 ounces white wine (Reisling is good)
1/4 cup filtered water
1 tablespoon Earth Balance butter substitute

Garnish
1/4 cup coarsely ground DuChilly hazelnuts
1/2 cup blueberries
Coat salmon in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then coat all sides in chopped hazelnuts. Heat remaining oil in a sauté pan. Place salmon skin side up in a pan and sauté one minute. Turn and sauté other side for one minute.
Leaving salmon in sauté pan, deglaze bottom of pan with 1 ounce of the wine and water. Place pan in 400° F oven and bake until fish is cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and deglaze pan a final time with butter and remaining wine. Garnish with coarsely chopped hazelnuts and blueberries.
Fish cooking tip: Never add lemon or lime juice before or during the cooking of fish. The acids break down the flesh and makes it mushy! Squirt fresh lemon or lime juice on the fish AFTER its cooked.
