Ultimate Grilled Salmon

Salmon is one fish i personally will die to eat every dinner. This fish is packed with nutrition that will blow your mind. It’s filled with omega 3 fatty acid and vitamin D. What fish can offer you this great deal.Salmon contains sources of B12 , B6, selenium, magnesium, and niacin. The good thing about Salmon is that the omega 3 fights off inflammation in our bodies. The benefit of salmon containing omega 3 is that is helps with heart strokes.


The healthiest way to cook salmon

Bake/Grill:

  1. Pre heat  oven or grill to about 425
  2. Brush a little amount of olive oil onto salmon
  3. Sprinkle lemon pepper
  4. Pour a light amount of lime juice into the oven /grill
  5. Cook both sides on medium high  for 3 minutes, flip, partially cover with lid, turn down to medium, and do the same on the other side. Cook for another 6-7 minutes until pretty firm
  6. Put the potatoes in the oven. After 20 minutes, place vegetables of your choice.Let them roast for another 25 (potatoes get a total 45). During the last 15-20 minutes the vegetables are going, Remove to a plate and let rest for a few minutes.
  7. Serve until its a golden color

I decided to add egg whites with my meal.Egg whites  are high in protein.Its the ultimate food  that will boost your energy. Although egg whites can be tasteless just sprinkle some spices to give it life.Eggs are high in potassium and magnesium, so white eggs as much as you want.Grill up some veggies such as  asparagus, carrots, broccoli, green beans,eggplant,bell peppers,radicchio,tomatoes,zucchini ,onions,corn, and potatoes.

Be careful not to over-cook or burn the salmon it will ruin the taste and texture of the fish.

Stay healthy .The ultimate trifecta. Enjoy
