Salmon is known for being rich in long chain Omega-3 fatty acids which can only be obtained through diet. These essential Omega-3s are known to suppress inflammation and keep the immune system working to fight against viruses, sickness and disease.

Baked Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 Tbsps olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper just a pinch if using finely ground black pepper
  • 2 tsps minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Italian herb seasoning blend
  • 1 medium lemon
  • 2-3 green onions, sliced

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a large baking pan.

Arrange fillets on the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Stir together olive oil, garlic, herbs, and juice of 1/2 lemon. Brush onto the fillets. Be sure to rub all over the tops and sides of the salmon so it has no dry spots. Top with green onions.

Bake for 15-18 minutes until salmon is opaque and flaky when pulled apart with a fork.
