Salmon is one of the most nutritious types of fish to add to your diet. In addition to protein, salmon is a good source of vitamins and minerals such as niacin, B-6, B-12, vitamin D, small amounts of vitamin A, selenium, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium. Furthermore, salmon is a low-calorie, high-protein food that supplies less than 200 calories per 3-ounce serving. You can grill, bake or broil salmon and eat it with a side of vegetables, use it to make salmon burgers or include it in salads for healthy well-balanced meals. I love to eat salmon with grilled asparagus. Yum!

It truly tastes gourmet! Some days when I don’t have any garlic. I use a nice chopped garlic paste that I order from Amazon and it works really well. It is called Amore Garlic Paste. This premium garlic paste is a godsend–it applies easily and controlling the amount is straightforward. It has a great flavor without me having to peel cloves! My husband prefers the paste but I love using the cloves. I love how you can add more pepper to this garlic butter salmon recipe and also tone down the garlic for relatives or guests that aren’t as fond of garlic. This is very quick to make and tasty heart-healthy dish. However, salmon can be easily overcooked. Do not cook for more than 5 minutes per side.
