sriracha lime salmon

Love her (me!) or hate her, Gwynnie has got to be your BFF when the new year rolls around and you kick it into high clean-eating gear. Gal's got some seriously great recipes (evidence) that are also healthy and simple. What's not to love?

This salmon is too delicious. It's got a perfect balance of flavors and couldn't be easier to throw together. Paired with the best brussels sprouts ever, this is pretty much all I want to eat from now on.

P.S. I've blogged a few recipes from It's All Goodbut that doesn't begin to scratch the surface on how much I've made and LOVED from it. So, I want to give you guys one! I promise you, the recipes in here are awesome and are perfect for starting the new year off right. All you have to do is like Little Kitchie on Facebook, then leave me a comment letting me know you did (or that you already do, which if so, thanks!). You can also follow on Twitter or Pinterest  for extra entries, just comment and let me know. I'll choose a winner at random next Friday, January 31. Good luck! xo

Sriracha Lime Salmon (slightly adapted from It's All Good. Actually the only difference here is not making my own sriracha because sanity.)
serves 2

you'll need:
zest of 1/2 a lime
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons sriracha
1 tablespoon maple syrup
kosher salt
2 pieces of salmon (mine were about 6 oz. each)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Whisk together the lime zest, juice, sriracha, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, place salmon on top, and pour the mixture over it.

Roast salmon for 12-15 minutes. Serve sprinkled with cilantro. Enjoy!

gwyneth paltrow's teriyaki chicken

Here's the teriyaki chicken I served with the best brussels sprouts, which kind of made this the best meal.

Looking at the title of this post, you probably either got really excited or did an epic eye roll. I know Gwyneth has a lot of haters. But I'm just not one. This blondie has brought me some awesome meals lately from her new cookbook, It's All Good, which focuses on clean eating and is completely gluten-free. I've tried 4 or 5 recipes from it since my sweet friend Megan gave it to me for my birthday, and every single one has been totally delicious AND totally good for us. Only love for Gwynnie over here.

This is definitely going to be in regular rotation in our home. It is so flavorful (the teriyaki sauce is to die for) and also so simple. You'd never guess in one million years that this fits into an elimination diet, is considered a detox meal, and is super low-fat, because this is the best teriyaki chicken EVER. That's what you call a win-win.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Teriyaki Chicken, slightly adapted from It's All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes That Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great
serves 4

for the sauce, you'll need:
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup raw honey
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon barley miso
1 teaspoon mirin
1 tablespoon water

for the chicken, you'll need:
olive oil
1 lb. chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
3 thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
A handful of roughly chopped cilantro, for garnish

Combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, ginger and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for 10 minus. Stir in the miso, mirin and water. Take off heat and allow to cool a bit.

Marinate the chicken in half of the sauce for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving.

Heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until chicken is completely cooked through.

To serve, drizzle remaining sauce over chicken and sprinkle with scallions and cilantro. Enjoy!
