getting in shape with food

So as many of you know, my downfall when it comes to being healthy is eating. 
I either don't eat throughout the day (known for my one meal a day) or I eat too much in one sitting (which probably explains my one meal a day lol).
Lately I have been doing WAYYY better. Eating three times a day plus a couple snacks and the right portions :) SO PROUD OF ME lol.
I've also been trying lots of new recipes (I love to cook). So thought I'd share a favorite:

Honey Soy Grilled Salmon with Edamame


Light & Delicious
I love salmon!!!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves
  • scallions
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 center cut skin-on wild salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon black sesame seeds
  • 1 1/3 cups cooked edamame
  • Lime wedges, optional garnish
Preheat the grill over medium-high direct heat. Oil the grill grates. Finely chop the cilantro and scallion and mix in the oil and ginger. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut two 3-inch long slits through the skin lengthwise on the bottom of the salmon fillets, going about halfway into the salmon. Evenly stuff the slits with the herb mixture. Season the fish with salt and pepper.
Stir together the lime juice, soy and honey until smooth. Place the salmon, skin side up, on the grill and cook until well marked, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon and continue to cook, brushing the tops with the sauce, until the fish is cooked through, about another 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle the tops with the sesame seeds. Serve with edamame and lime wedges.
Broiler directions: Position an oven rack so that a baking sheet set on the rack is about 4-inches below the heat source. Preheat the broiler. Prepare the salmon as above and place the fillets, skin down, on a foil lined baking sheet coated with cooking sprayBroil, basting 3 to 4 times with the sauce, until just cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes.
