Salmon is one of the healthiest foods available. A huge advocate of salmon for decades, I eat salmon nearly every single day. This tasty fish is best prepared broiled, grilled or baked in order to minimize what some refer to as a “fishy” taste. As well, using complimentary seasonings such as blackened, citrus, and herbs enhances the overall flavor of the dish.

High in omega 3 fatty acids, salmon promotes heart health, glowing skin and hair, and is an essential food for a fit bikini lifestyle. If wild caught salmon is not available, seek sustainable farm raised salmon with no added dyes.

About This Recipe

This easy recipe is packed with flavor and cooks within minutes. The filet of salmon is marinated for about 20 minutes. Marinate in an oven-safe dish in the refrigerator and then rest prior to baking for about 10 minutes. This resting period allows the baking dish to come closer to room temperature and avoid possible cracking in the hot oven.

Fresh ginger root and garlic are used in this recipe to add flavor and to help promote a balanced digestive system. For more on digestive health, check out this feature on Gut Healing Foods

As a side dish, cauliflower is sauteed with fruit forward dried cranberries and topped with pistachio nuts or almonds.
