Quick Lemon Dill Salmon
Incorporating fish into your diet is a great way to help boost health, protect your brain, protect your heart, and even help stave off certain kinds of cancers. This salmon comes together quickly and makes a great healthy dinner option, especially if you are short on time.
Salmon is one of the best sources of vitamin B12 and a good source of other B vitamins, which help to turn the food you eat into energy. Salmon contains potassium, is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a great source of protein, can help your body regulate your sleep, and contains vitamin A, vitamin D, and zinc.
Ingredients
1.25 lbs. salmon, skin off and pin-bones removed (I use wild caught king salmon)
1-2 tbsp organic extra virgin olive oil
1 organic lemon, sliced
Pink Himalayan salt
Fresh or dried dill
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a baking pan drizzle olive oil over the fish and rub it in on both sides. Sprinkle fish with pink Himalayan salt and dill. Slice lemon and place on top of the fish.
Cook to your liking, about 15 – 20 minutes.
Notes:
Wild, cold-water fish is your best bet when looking for fish high in omega-3 fatty acids. Wild salmon is a great option and my suggestion if it is available to you and within your budget. Lower-cost, farmed fish are grown in overcrowded conditions, susceptible to parasites and infections, given antibiotics and hormones, and fed tainted, grain-based foods with a higher ratio of inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids.
