EASY SALMON BAKE

Really! I promise you that this will take 15 minutes in the oven...ONLY. Here's the recipe.

Let's talk salmon. First, hunt for wild-caught salmon in your local grocery stores. Why wild-caught? You be the judge. This is a TIME magazine article from 2020 about farm-raised salmon. And here's a quick summary from bio-hacker Dave Asprey. I am also including this "Did You Know" list from the Wild Alaska Seafood Company, even though they benefit from promoting wild-caught fish.

We buy canned wild-caught salmon from our local grocery stores and packaged fresh salmon from Sam's Club. The only wild-caught salmon they offer is sockeye, which is lower in fat, but high in flavor and with much higher levels of Astaxanthin, a great anti-inflammatory component found only in salmon. There are two sides of salmon in each package. We cook one and freeze the other. While there are many ways to enjoy salmon, this has become our favorite. Grab the recipe here.

My easy baked salmon recipe requires a preheated oven set to 425F and one rack moved to the top. You mix the coating, place one side of salmon on a parchment paper lined sheet pan, score the salmon in serving portions (cut through to the skin) and spread the coating over the fish. Place into the preheated oven and wait 10 minutes. Turn on the broiler to high, and broil for about 3 minutes. There's dinner! If you use another type of salmon, you may have to cook it longer.
