Baked Salmon Fish Fillets

I like Salmon because it spells like Salman (LOL), No that is not true :). Was never a big fan of it. But once I discovered 'fish baking' concept, I fell in love with it. Subtle spices, butter, lemon juice is enough to enhance its natural taste and juicy texture. The size of the fillet is pretty big and hence it fulfills its job as a filling meal. You can have it with a simple salad, cooked ancient grains or make a glamorous dinner with buttered rice (which I made :)) and grilled asparagus with a glass of wine. I keep tweaking the recipe here and there, but this is what I usually like and make and bake. :) [ohhh nice rhyme there!]

So without any further ado, let us check this sesky recipe :)

BAKED SALMON FILLET

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillet
• 1 onion chopped
• 1 tomato chopped
• 2 tsp garlic powder (or 3 pods of garlic minced)
• 1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or chilli powder)
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp tarragon
• 4 tsp lemon juice
• salt and pepper to taste
• oil to drizzle

MY PREP PLATE

Preparation:

• Place Salmon fillet in a square piece of aluminium foil (big enough to wrap the fillet).
• Make an assembly line, add onions, tomatoes, powders, herbs, lemon juice, salt n pepper generously over each Salmon fillet. 
• And lastly, drizzle a little oil over the fillets. Now cover and secure the fillets with the foil and place it on a baking sheet.
• Bake on 450F/230C for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and slowly open the foil, your fish is ready to be devoured. 
• Let it sit in the foil as you transfer it to your dinner plate, because there is juice collected in it which is very yummy!
• You can serve it with your favorite side. You can also top it with any pesto you like, I have buttered rice and grilled asparagus in my presentation.

Health Benefits: Salmon, who doesn't know the benefits of salmon? :) It has earned a reputation as a healthy supportive food with good amounts of omega 3 fatty acid content which helps in cardiovascular problems. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation of the arteries and the digestive system, reduce chances of colon, prostate, and kidney cancers. Furthermore, salmon can improve skin texture, add some sparkle to your eyes, skin, hair and nails and help in the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon. In short Salmon helps to correct muscle and tissue development, boosted eye health, and efficient body metabolism.
