1 lb. salmon fillet without skin
Bruschetta topping:
½ tomato, chopped 1/4- ½ cup chopped fresh basil
1 Tbsp. olive oil 1-2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
½ tsp. agave ½ tsp. sea salt

Kale: is full of nutrients, a great veggie to get in the habit of eating regularly. Here’s a simple, but flavorful way of preparing:
½ bunch kale ¼ cup chopped onion
½ tsp. sea salt 2 Tbsp. olive oil
Put steamer basket in pan of water, turn on high to reach boiling point. Place kale in steamer and cook about 4-5 minutes until it’s soft but still bright green. (Steamed kale helps to reduce unhealthy cholesterol levels.) While kale is steaming, heat oil in sauté pan with onions at medium heat until translucent. Put steamed kale in sauté pan with onions and sprinkle with salt. Toss and serve. You are NOT sautéing kale, just mixing with other ingredients.
