Sodium-free delight
Tue, 03/31/2009 - 12:56 — whitney
Keep your daily sodium intake at no more than 1,500 mg, was the message from yesterday's story about America's salt addiction. Today, we found some delicious-looking recipes that go easy on the deadly white stuff.
Pistachio-Crusted Tuna Steaks: Steaks were probably one of the first things to go if you decided to pursue a heart healthy diet. But this dish swaps out the heart-hating beef steak with nutrition-rich tuna. Lots of herbs and, of course, pistachios season the fish to create a steak with only 420 mg of sodium.
Lemon Turkey Burgers: Just because you gave up salt, it doesn't mean that you have to give up easy, satisfying burgers. This recipe replaces salty red meat with better-for-you ground turkey. Using two sodium-free Mrs. Dash seasonings, the entire recipe has only 132 mg of sodium (about 9 percent of your daily allotment).
Orange-Cinnamon Chicken: Orange juice, fresh oranges and ground cinnamon season this recipe instead of salt--which also calls for the chicken to be cooked in butter. To really cut down on the harmful stuff, make sure to get unsalted butter or low-sodium margarine. And, of course, when the recipe says "salt to taste," just say 'no!'
Adobo Pork and Potato Packets: A yummy take on pork chops and potatoes, this entire recipe uses only half a teaspoon of salt and avoids salty ingredients. The result? Only 361 mg of sodium per serving.
