Garlic and Herb-Roasted Salmon with Tomatoes

Of all the fish, salmon is one of the healthiest, providing good omega-3 fatty acids that act as an anti-inflammatory and improve mental functioning.

Serves 4

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 wild-caught salmon fillets (about 2 pounds)
• 12 cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium lemon, sliced into rounds

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine oil, garlic, cayenne, lemon juice, parsley, and salt, mixing well.
3. Lay salmon skin-down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange cherry tomatoes and lemon slices between fillets.
4. Drizzle the fillets, lemon slices, and tomatoes with herb mixture.
5. Cook 6–8 minutes or until salmon is mostly done. Finish under the broiler 5 additional minutes to roast the lemons and tomatoes.
6. Remove and serve salmon with roasted lemon and tomatoes.

Choose Your Fish Wisely

When choosing fish, opt for wild-caught whenever possible. Wild-caught fish are much higher in good fats, and you can even find wild-caught fish canned and ready to eat if you don’t live near an ocean or lake where fresh fish is usually plentiful.
