Buy Organic Chia Seeds and add them to almost ANY meal, instead of flax seeds
A common complaint about flax seeds is that their flavor is far too strong and they overpower the meal. Healthy organic Chia Seeds are almost tasteless, so they will easily disappear into most meals. When combined with liquid they become soft. When tossed on salads they add a welcome extra crunch. You can heat Chia seeds to add them to baking, soups, stews and sauces without affecting their amazing nutritional value.

  Gravlax (salmon marinated in dill) - mshol
 
Yield: 8 Servings
 
3 lb Fresh salmon fillet; center -cut cleaned & scaled      1 lg Bunch Dill; fresh whole
1/4 c Kosher salt (coarse or -regular is necessary)      1/4 c Sugar
2 tb White peppercorns (or black)
 -crushed Cut the salmon in half lengthwise and remove the backbone and the small freebones as well or ask your fish dealer to do it for you. Leave the skin on. Place half of the fish skin side down in a deep glass enamel or stainless steel baking dish or casserole. Wash and then shake dry the bunch of dill and place it on the fish. (If the dill is of the hothouse variety and not very pungent chop the herb coarsely to release it's flavor and sprinkle it over the fish instead.) In a separate bowl combine the salt sugar and crushed peppercorns. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the dill. Top with the other half of the fish skin side up. Cover with foil and set a heavy plate or platter on top of it slightly larger than the salmon. Weigh it down with cans or jars and refrigerate for at least 3 days up to 7 days. Turn the fish over every 12 hours or so basting with the liquid marinade that accumulates separating the halves a little to baste the salmon inside. Replace the platter and weights each time. When the gravlax is finished remove the fish from it's marinade you can scrape away the dill and seasonings and pat dry with paper towels or leave the dill and seasonings in place. Place the separated halves skin side down on a carving board and slice the salmon thinly on the diagonal detaching each slice from the skin. Gravlax is served as part of a smorgasbord or as an appetizer and is usually accompanied by a mustard-dill sauce (see recipe). When gravlax is presented as a main course it is garnished with lemon wedges as well as the mustard-dill sauce and served with toast and perhaps a cucumber salad. .\ichele's Notes: This is one of the easiest recipes to make. Long as you start it in advance it's basically a no-brainer. Just remember to turn and baste every 12 hours. And slice thin. Mmmmmmm its great!
