WALNUT-GLAZED SALMON

I found this recipe in Eat Yourself Smart, by Gill Paul and nutritionist Karen Sullivan. I was browsing the book shelf in Urban Outfitters (so cultured, I know) and the second I saw that the cook book was only ten dollars, I practically threw my credit card at the cashier. 

Eat Yourself Smart features ingredients and recipes that are said to boost overall brain power; soothing stress and anxiety, enhancing mood, and improving memory and concentration. 

This recipe fit my required gluten free and lactose free diet, and I could not have been happier with the final result. When dietary restrictions arise, it's so easy to be turned off by all cook books, but I can not stress enough how easy it is to modify any type of recipe to fit any type of diet.
