Recipe: Simple Baked Salmon
Salmon is fantastically healthy, providing you with protein and a valuable dose of Omega-3 Fatty Acids (which help with inflammation and brain function).
Generally, Australians do not get enough of these beneficial Omega-3 Fats in our diet. Once you get the hang of cooking salmon, you’re sure to have it on your menu often, and your body will thank you for it. Try this simple baked salmon for an easy, nutritious mid-week meal.
