What’s for Dinner: Roasted Salmon

Here’s What’s for Dinner on March 21, 2016:

Roasted Salmon

Serves 2

Ingredients

Two 5-ounce pieces salmon with skin
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves (optional)

Directions

Heat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with foil.

Rub salmon all over with 2 teaspoons oil. Roast skin side down on foil-lined baking sheet until fish is cooked through, about 12 minutes. After 10 minutes, check if fish flakes easily with fork. If it doesn’t, continue baking for 2 more minutes.

Using a metal spatula, lift salmon off skin and place salmon on serving plate. Discard skin. Sprinkle salmon with herbs and serve.

Dietitian’s tip:

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend two servings of fish every week. Salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep blood from forming clots and protect against irregular heartbeats that may cause a heart attack.
