Braised Endive and Maple Mustard Salmon

Salmon is permitted in Phase 1 of our program only once a week. The Maple Mustard recipe below, which is paired with deliciously braised Belgian Endive, will make that dinner stand out.

Braised Endive

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup water
• 1 tsp grapeseed oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 gram packet of stevia
• 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cups Belgian Endive (3 small), cut in quarters lengthwise 

Directions 

1. Combine water, grapeseed oil, salt, steva, apple cider vinegar and pepper. Simmer in a large frying pan over medium heat.
2. Add endives  in a single layer and braise, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the cores give way when pierced with a knife.
3. Increase heat to medium high and cook, turning occasionally, until almost all the liquid has evaporated and the endives are golden brown, about 5 to 10 minutes more.
