I’ve been trying to lighten up a lot of the dishes we make at home (like spaghetti and grilled meals) by removing some of the extra carbs, adding more fresh produce, and switching out some of the staple ingredients for lighter choices, like using Mazola® Corn Oil instead of butter; a clinical study showed Mazola Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, see Mazola.com.
One dish that my entire family can agree on (and there are no complaints from the picky eaters) is grilled salmon. It’s become part of our standard rotation of meals because it’s just so quick and easy to make. But, I’ve also been wanting to lighten it up a little. I sometimes put a little lemon butter on it before grilling, and then pair it with couscous, corn-on-the-cob (with more butter), green beans, and bread. So, I switched out a few things this week. Instead of lemon butter, I made an orange-ginger marinade for the salmon, grilled the salmon and vegetables in foil packets with a little Mazola Corn Oil, switched out the bread for fresh orange slices, and then instead of couscous, I made a citrus cauliflower rice.
And, it was delicious. Not a single complaint, although I did notice one kid devoured a lot of extra orange slices instead of his cauliflower rice and I’m okay with that.
I’ve broken up the recipe below into sections for each step from the marinade to the foil packets, and the cauliflower rice.
Salmon foil packets
While the salmon is grilling, you can make cauliflower rice.
