Orange-Glazed Salmon
Fatty fish like salmon are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fats that are good for the heart and brain—and for the development of the fetus. Here's a Fertility Diet salmon recipe (from pages 246-247) that requires only about 10 minutes of cook time:

1/4 teaspoon salt
4 6-ounce boneless, skinless salmon fillets
1 tablespoon orange marmalade
1/2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon orange juice concentrate
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

1. Sprinkle the salt on the fish.

2. Combine the marmalade, vinegar, orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, honey, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, chili sauce, and ginger in a shallow baking dish; whisk to blend. Put the salmon in the dish; cover and let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through the marinating time.

3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. Lightly coat an ovenproof nonstick skillet with the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and heat over medium heat. Put the fish in the pan and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn the fish over and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place the skillet in the oven; bake 6 to 8 minutes or until the fish is opaque throughout.
