Print Recipe
Course Main Course
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package fresh spinach (10 oz)
  • 1 1 large tomato sliced
  • 1 medium onion sliced into rounds
  • 1 3/4 lbs. Salmon
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1 Tbsp chopped parsley, for garnish
  • lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with foil. The foil should be big enough to fold over and seal the edges.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, and melted butter.
  • Place fresh spinach on the prepared baking sheet, then put salmon on top of the spinach. Top the salmon with tomato slices and onion rounds. Pour the butter mixture over the top, then season with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  • Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, making sure it is well sealed, so the sauce does not leak.
  • Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake until cooked for about 12-16 minutes. The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish. Open the foil and check the salmon every 2 minutes after 12 minutes. If you like a crispy top, open the foil after it is cooked through and broil for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and transfer the salmon and vegetables to your serving plate. Spoon some of the butter sauce left in the foil onto the salmon and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.

Health Benefits of Salmon

Salmon is widely recognized as a highly nutritious fish that offers a range of health benefits due to its unique nutritional profile. Here are some of the key health benefits of consuming salmon:

Rich Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

Salmon is particularly known for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA (eicosatetraenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These fatty acids are essential for heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting brain function.

Heart Health

Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon have been shown to help lower blood pressure, reduce triglyceride levels, and decrease the risk of heart disease. They can improve overall heart health by reducing inflammation, promoting healthy cholesterol levels, and supporting proper blood vessel function.

Brain Health:

DHA, one of the omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, is a major structural component of the brain. Regular consumption of DHA-rich foods like salmon may support cognitive function, improve memory, and potentially reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

Joint Health:

Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate symptoms of joint pain and stiffness, particularly in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

Protein Source

Salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein, providing all the essential amino acids needed for various bodily functions, including muscle repair and growth.

Vitamin D

Salmon is one of the best dietary sources of vitamin D, a nutrient essential for bone health, immune system function, and overall well-being.

Rich in B Vitamins

Salmon contains several B vitamins, including B6, B12, niacin, and riboflavin. These vitamins play a role in energy metabolism, supporting the nervous system, and maintaining healthy skin.

Mineral Content:

Salmon is a good source of important minerals such as selenium, potassium, and zinc. These minerals contribute to various physiological functions, including immune support, antioxidant defense, and electrolyte balance.

Eye Health

The omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants in salmon, such as astaxanthin, may contribute to maintaining good eye health and reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration.

Skin Health

The omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants in salmon can help promote healthy, glowing skin by reducing inflammation and supporting skin cell regeneration.

Weight Management:

The high protein content of salmon can help you feel fuller for longer, which may aid in weight management by reducing overall calorie intake.

When including salmon in your diet, it’s important to choose sustainable and responsibly sourced options to ensure the long-term health of fish populations and ocean ecosystems. While salmon offers numerous health benefits, it’s also important to maintain a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods for optimal overall health.
