If you don't have a grill at home, you can also pan-sear salmon.

Use canola oil because it has a neutral flavor and won't burn easily.

When you're cooking in a pan, listen for a sizzle. That sound means that the food is not absorbing too much oil…and that you're not adding too many calories.

Precook brown rice to save time in preparation.

Vegetable stock adds moisture and flavor to dishes without adding a lot of extra calories.

Salmon is ready to eat when it breaks open very easily.

Colorful, pretty ingredients make healthy meals more appetizing.
