Simple Salmon
Simple Salmon
We like to eat fish at least twice a week in my household. Salmon is one of our go to fish. It’s oilier the most fish but is recommended for its abundance of omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower cholesterol. My girls cannot get enough of it.
Instructions
- Sprinkle salmon with Himalayan salt & pepper and place in the baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake at 400 F for 12-14 minutes, depending on thickness of fish. Serve with lemon wedges & roasted vegetables of your choice.
Notes
Once upon a time I used to buy regular (farmed) salmon, but honestly organic salmon is better for you. Farmed salmon is higher in vitamin C, saturated fat, polyunsaturated fatty acids and calories. Chile, the world’s second-largest producer of farmed salmon, has been experiencing problems due to excessive antibiotic use. Wild salmon contains more minerals & is hormone-free. Typically, wild salmon has fewer calories, saturated fat and vitamins A and D than farmed salmon, but contains more protein. I don’t subscribe to buying organic everything as I don’t think it’s necessary and let’s be honest...it’s heavy on the pocketbook. But when it comes to meat, poultry, fish, and certain fruits & vegetables, I would rather spend more. It’s important for me to know these “organic products” are really “organic.” Meaning I trust they came from a reliable source, such as a sustainable farm. What are your most important organic buys?
