Salmon is my go-to fish of choice! I love that it is insanely easy to cook (400 degrees, 15-20 minutes), and that you can flavor it in so many ways… PLUS it is healthy! We all know by now that it is a great course of healthy fats and omega 3’s, and to top it off, it’s strongly anti-inflammatory.
This is another one of my recipes that I will call more of a method, because it is so unstructured when I do it…
- Take a fresh salmon filet, rinsed and patted dry…
- rub both sides with coconut oil and place skin side down in baking dish…
- salt and pepper to your taste…
- smear about a tablespoon of tahini over the flesh side…
- top with the zest of one lemon and a couple tablespoons of fresh parsley…
- bake 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees.
- SIMPLE delicious!
As a side, we sauteed chopped baby broccoli (put in the pan first for 2+ minutes because it takes longer to cook), along with napa cabbage and spinach in coconut oil, finishing with a squeeze of fresh lemon and sesame seeds.
