- Eating wild salmon is a great way to get your Omega-3s.
- Omega-3s have antioxidant properties and can even boost the memory.
- According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, “research suggests that eating oily fish once or twice a week may increase your lifespan by more than two years, and reduce your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by 35 percent.”
- This is a simple, easy, yet healthy recipe.
- Recipe: (for four people)
- Marinate (4) 60z wild salmon filets in 1/3 cup of raw olive oil, a dash of ginger, 1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt and 1 cup of organic lemon juice for 2 hours.
- Optional: Add a few sprigs of fresh thyme and rosemary.
- Grill or bake skin side down for 3 minutes.
- Turn, brush with sauce again, cook for 3 minutes until the salmon flesh is opaque yet moist.
- If you plan to bake it: Set the oven at 375 degrees and bake for 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle with turmeric before serving.
- Decorate with fresh parsley.
- We love pairing this dish with organic broccoli, carrots or Quinoa.
- Make sure you get wild salmon and not “farm raised”.
- Do not overcook.
