About this Recipe

This is an EASY EASY high protein meal.  Yesterday when I went to Peterson's Fish Market, I questioned the Peterson boy who waited on me as to the freshness of the fish. He assured me that the fish I was buying today, slept in Lake Superior last night! Always buy the freshest fish possible. This recipe has no fishy taste, and the seasonings are loaded with lots of life-extending nutrients.

Horseradish, for example, is a rich source of Glucosinolates. these compounds have been shown to increase human resistance to cancer. "Glucosinolates increase the liver's ability to detoxify carcinogens and they may actually suppress the growth of existing cancerous tumors," said Mosbah Kushad, University of Illinois  associate professor of foodcrop systems. "And our analysis of various horseradish varieties shows they are a rich source of these compounds." Horseradish has approximately 10 times more glucosinolates than Broccoli, the next richest source.

Dill is high in monoterpenes, also shown to have anti-cancer activity. Monoterpenes activate an enzyme called gluthathione-S-tranferase. When these components come in contact with oxidized molecules which would harm our body they become attached to them and neutralize the damages, working particularly hard against certain carcinogens such as benzopyrenes found in cigarette, incinerator and grill smoke.

  • 1/4 Cup Blanched Almonds (toasted and coarsely ground)
  • 1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
