Delicious and Healthy Baked Salmon

 I like to keep fish in my diet because it is a very good source of protein without high levels of fat, it has all of the essential amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids and is also one of the few natural sources of vitamin D.  The alternative is taking supplements... but i prefer the real thing! (make sure to support sustainable fishing!)

So here is a delicious recipe I found on CHOW.com, hope you like it!


 Before we get started this is what you need!

• Fresh organic salmon filet
• Panko bread crumbs
• Dijon Mustard
• Olive Oil
• Basil (chopped)

You will begin by selecting a fresh salmon filet with skin on one side, make sure you check it for bones.
Place a sheet of aluminum on your baking sheet and spread some olive oil where you will place your fish.
Put your fish on the sheet and prepare your marinade sauce.
On a small dish mix 1 tbs olive oil, 3 tbs Dijon Mustard, and 1 tbs of chopped basil and mix together.
Once done, sprinkle salt and pepper on your fish and top it off with the marinade.
Once the marinade is spread on the top of your fish sprinkle Panko bread crumbs on top of your filet.

Now you put your filet in the oven (400 d.) for 15-20 minutes depending on your stove and filet size.

Once that is ready you can use a spatula to slowly remove the skin on the bottom of your filet, and serve with grilled asparagus or green beans and a wedge of lemon.

And Tah-Dah!! All done! That was easy right?

See, eating healthy doesn't have to be that difficult, and it sure doesn't have to taste bland!
