Let’s face it. When it comes to dinner, we want it all:
I’m no different even though I’m a cookbook author with 10 books to my credit. Making dinner every night can be a drag.
Dr. Lillian Cheung, a nutritionist from the Harvard School of Public Health, loves to cook, and she knows what’s good for you. Lillian and I went to a Farmer’s Market and were inspired. Using the HSPH newly-designed Food Pyramid (you can actually understand it!), Lillian and I give different ideas for a great autumn menu.
Go to the Recipe section for
- Cantonese-style Microwave-Steamed Halibut with Scallions and Ginger
- Roasted Ratatouille with Zucchini, Eggplant, and Cherry Tomatoes (great for leftovers)
- Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- Herbal Brown Rice
For information on the newly formed HSPH Pyramid, go to the News Section.
Enjoy!

2 pounds halibut or a firm-fleshed fish such as salmon, haddock, etc.
Marinade:
2 tablespoons rice wine or sake
3 slices of fresh ginger (about the size of a quarter), smashed with the flat side of a heavy knife or a cleaver
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
Seasonings:
3 tablespoons finely shredded scallions
2 tablespoons finely shredded fresh ginger
2 tablespoons sesame oil, heated to sizzling
Rinse the fish fillets lightly and pat dry. Place in a bowl. Combine all the marinade ingredients and lightly pinch the ginger slices in the rice wine to impart their flavor. Add to the fillets and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Place the fillets skin side down on a heatproof plate with a rim and pour the marinade over, taking out the ginger slices. Cover with a piece of parchment or wax paper. Place the dish in a microwave oven and cook for about 6 minutes. The fish will be opaque all the way through when done. Sprinkle the cooked fish with the shredded scallions and shredded ginger. Drizzle with the hot sesame oil.
Serves 6
