Blog | Nutrition & Recovery | Recipe Zesty Oven Baked Salmon

Author / Samantha Flaherty

Prep: 10 min + Marinade/ Bake: 15 min

With all the great protein options here on land, it can be easy to forget about the options swimming in the seas. Sure it’s hard to beat a great steak, but varying your protein sources can better guarantee you’re getting a complete macro (and micro) nutrient profile from your food, and can even potentially help to avoid developing food allergies from overeating only a few select choices. Salmon is a great source of both protein and those healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and this recipe is a nice way to add some kick in to your mealtime.

Ingredients:

2-3# salmon

3 TBS olive oil

1 TBS coconut aminos

1 TBS honey

Zest of one lemon (save lemon for later)

2 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Mix together marinade ingredients in a small bowl
Lay the salmon out in a 9×13 glass baking dish, or on a sheet pan
Salt and pepper both sides of the fish
Pour marinade over the fish and let sit for 1-3 hours

When you are ready to cook dinner:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Place marinated fish in the oven, skin side down

This fish is delicious served over rice and a bed of arugula.
