Since we have been on the subject of boosting immunity lately, I though I would share an easy recipe that incorporates a few of my favorite healing foods…salmon and garlic. I recommend looking for wild caught salmon as opposed to farm raised since fish that are caught in the wild are higher in omega-3 fatty acids and lower in pesticides and antibiotics.
Easy Garlic & Dill Salmon
Serves 4
1 lb Salmon fillet
2-3 cloves Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp Olive oil
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
2 Tbsp Fresh dill weed, minced
Salt & pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and dill in a small bowl. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking or cover the pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Lay the fillet on the baking sheet (skin down if skin is still on) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Evenly spread the olive oil mixture over the salmon and bake for approximately 15–20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. You can turn the thinner end of the fillet under so it doesn’t get over cooked. Serve with steamed broccoli or roasted asparagus and potatoes (I like the baby red potatoes).
Hint: Salmon can be grilled as well.

I am not a salmon person but that broccoli & potatoes in that pic look good AND can still use the ingredients with chicken or something else!
