Salmon...A Delicious Medicine In Your Plate!

Start eating salmon...yesterday! Why? Because salmon is one of the healthiest foods. So simple...The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two times salmon per week as it is rich in omega-3-fatty acids, protein, vitamins, and minerals that help reduce the risk of several diseases.

Let's see what happens when we add this blessed fish in our diet.

It is clear that the nutrition facts that salmon has are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that have multiple double bonds.  These help to reduce the serum triglyceride levels by reducing the LDL levels and increasing the degradation of the fatty acids. And that's how salmon protects us from cardiovascular diseases and stroke! Not bad ah?

Other good news...Salmon consuming also effects on the body fat percentage. Proteins are tough to digest and therefore you feel full for a longer duration & finally you eat less! So, you can have a slim and toned body if you consume salmon cooked in the right way of course...

The omega-3 fatty acids present in salmon are important for your brain to function properly. Period. The omega-3 fatty acids have also been found to increase cognitive function in older women. 

You don't care about your health? Ok ok. Salmon is scrumptious...delicious...meraviglioso. Now you pay attention so here the best recipe just for you:

Garlic Butter Baked Salmon

This really is an incredibly easy recipe with only 4 main steps:

Bake your potatoes first as salmon needs less time in the oven. This way you’re guaranteed the potatoes will be cooked through when it’s all finished. I used fingerling potatoes in this recipe because we LOVE the flavour of them! You an also use Yukon golds or halved baby potatoes.

Once your potatoes are done, push them to the side and pile on your asparagus and salmon pieces.

Pour on all of your flavours.

Prepare an amazing garlic butter sauce with a hint of white wine (optional) and lemon juice.

how to make garlic butter sauce

Mince your garlic cloves.

Rub the minced garlic all over your salmon fillets.

Combine lemon juice with melted butter and pour it all over your salmon and asparagus

how long to bake salmon

Salmon only needs 8-10 minutes cooking time in a hot, preheated oven (400°F or 200°C). I broil/grill ours in the last 2 minutes of cook time to get those crispy, golden charred edges.
