Salmon, a power protein, low in calories, transfat and saturated fat plus a taste that keeps you coming back for more!  Salmon is loaded with omega-3s, which promote a healthy heart, skin and joints.

Now when choosing your salmon be sure that is fresh ocean fish; not farmed fresh water to get the most nutrition and less chemicals.




Time: 35-40mins

Serves: 2



Ingredients:

• 1 ½ c chopped fingerling potatoes
• 1 chopped bell pepper
• 2 c fresh spinach leaves
• ¼ c chopped onion
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp Smart/Earth Balance
• 1 c sliced mushrooms
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 2 salmon fillets; for convenience I like Trader Joes’ Chimichurri Salmon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil, garlic and onion on medium stirring occasionally for about five minutes.
3. Add potatoes, basil and parsley; stirring occasionally for another five minutes.
4. Add bell peppers and mushrooms; stirring occasionally for about five minutes.  Put the salmon in the oven; cooking for about ten minutes.
5. In the skillet, lower the heat to medium low and add spinach.  Once spinach has wilted stir thoroughly.

Once salmon is complete place the potato mess on a plate, top with a salmon fillet and enjoy!
