Thread: Good Low Sodium Recipes

My boyfriend was put on a low sodium diet. And because I cook for him most of the time Im having a hard time finding different things to make. He loves italian and chinese and so this is a killer! Is there anyone who has awesome flavorful recipes? Also maybe some tips(hes used to having fast food almost everyday) Thanks!

Serves 4; 3 ounces meat and 1/2 cup topping per serving

Ingredients
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound boneless top sirloin steak, all visible fat discarded, cut into
4 pieces

Topping
2 cups grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons chopped kalamata olives, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Vegetable oil spray

Directions
In a large airtight plastic bag, combine the garlic, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, and pepper. Add the steak and turn to coat. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 8 hours, turning occasionally.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the topping ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Drain the steaks. Discard the marinade.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and lightly spray with vegetable oil spray (being careful not to spray near a gas flame). Cook the steaks for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the desired doneness. (Or grill or broil 5 to 6 inches from the heat as directed.)

To serve, place each steak on a plate. Spoon the topping over each serving.
