After spending months confined in our homes due to the global pandemic, and now with the graded easing of the lockdown around the world, as all of us prepare to embrace new normal, the importance of preventive healthcare, maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet, seems crucial to alleviate a health crisis. So we are back with our immunity booster series, where over the next week or so we will bring you nutritious recipes featuring super foods that can be made using kitchen essentials that are packed with flavors and goodness for a healthier tomorrow.
The super food we would like to put the spotlight on today is fatty fish.. “Fatty fish, such as salmon and tuna, contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help control inflammation in your body,” Maxine Yeung, MS, RD, CDN, NASM-CPT and founder of The Wellness Whisk. It’s important to consume inflammation-fighting foods on a regular basis, but especially when you’re feeling under the weather. So if you are looking for an easy to cook, healthy dinner recipe, then try our Baked Salmon feature that is as delicious as it is nutritious
Ingredients:
1 large salmon fillet
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
6 tbsp. butter, melted
2 tbsp. honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. chopped thyme leaves
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 lemons, thinly sliced
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Method:
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with cooking spray/olive oil. To the center of the foil, lay lemon slices in an even layer.
Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper and place on top of lemon slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together butter, honey, garlic, thyme, and oregano. Pour over salmon then fold up foil around the salmon. Bake until the salmon is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and broil for 2 minutes, or until the butter mixture has thickened.
Garnish with parsley before serving.
