This amazing recipe requires no oil (the fish is fatty enough without it) and actually results in the best salmon texture!
Salmon is one of my favorite source of protein. Why?
Salmon is a great source of the proteins your body needs to build muscles, bone, and cartilage. This protein helps maintain muscle mass while you lose weight, in addition to keeping a healthy metabolic rate and bone density.
The benefits are incredible:
• Reduce artery inflammation
• Lower cholesterol levels
• Maintain blood pressure
• Prevent excess fluid retention
• Reduce heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, and high triglycerides
Even though baked salmon feels like something you should save for a special night in.
Incorporate this easy and quick on your weekdays. These nights deserve balanced, healthy, wonderful-tasting meals just as much as the slower-paced weekend evenings, perhaps even more so 🤍
While all you really need for a satisfying piece of baked salmon is salt, pepper, and olive oil, it’s easy to adapt to different herbs and ingredients. These 6 ingredients will take your salmon to the next level 🙂
Ingredients:
• 1 piece of wild caught salmon
• Salt
• 1.4 tablespoons cumin
• 1.4 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 1.4 ginger
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• Fresh rosemary
• 1/2 lemon juice
I like to to buy fresh wild-caught salmon, which in our store usually means sockeye or coho based on inventory. These varieties are thinner and thus cook more quickly.
I love to pair it with a green vegetable. Check out this delicious and easy to make collard greens.
Rice is my ultimate favorite side dish to pair with salmon. Check out this garlic rice recipe.
Directions:
1 – Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2 – Season salmon with lemon juice, the blend spice, garlic and salt.
3 – Place salmon, skin side down, on a non-stick baking sheet or in a non-stick pan with an oven-proof handle. Bake until salmon is cooked through
4 – Broil (optional): For crispier and more browned skin turn the broiler on high and broil for 2-3 minutes, until crispy. Be sure to keep a close eye on the broiler as things can burn very quickly.
5 – Remove from oven and serve.
Enjoy!
