This one is one of my comfort foods.  You get the omega 3’s from the salmon and cardio benefits of soy!  Just 1/2 cup of soy give you 14 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.  Research shows that just 25 grams a day of soy can reduce your cardiovascular risks.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 1 cup Shitake Mushrooms stemmed and sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 2 medium Garlic Cloves, minced or pressed through a garlic press
• 1-inch piece fresh Ginger Root, minced or grated on a microplane
• 1 (8-ounce) package frozen shelled  Edamame Beans ( you can find these in the frozen section of your health food store or grocery store)
• 1 ½ cups water
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce ( gluten free)
• ¼ cup mirin
• 4 (5-ounce) skinless salmon fillets, 1to 1 ½ -inches thick
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 scallions or green onions, thinly sliced to decorate

Directions:

1. Prepare edamame following the directions on the package. Rinse
thoroughly with cold water to stop the beans from cooking, then drain.
Set aside, allowing beans to cool completely.

2.     Heat 1to 2 tablespoons of oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms and cook until they have released their liquid
and started to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining oil to center of
the skillet. Add garlic and ginger to hot oil and cook until fragrant,
about 30 seconds. Add water, soy sauce, and mirin to the skillet, and
bring to a simmer.

3.      Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Gently nestle fillets into the poaching liquid, spooning some of the liquid over the top. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the center of each fillet measures 125 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 5 to 7 minutes.

4.     Gently transfer each fillet to an individual bowl. Add edamame to the poaching liquid and stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Spoon edamame, mushrooms and hot liquid over fish and sprinkle with scallions. Serve immediately.
