This is a light and lovely roasted salmon recipe.
Recipes for baked salmon make not only easy dinner recipes, but very healthy recipes as well.
Salmon is one of the best foods we can eat, so good it is one of the top 10 healthiest foods and often called a super food.
Among other things, salmon contains lots of Omega-3 fatty acids, a polyunsaturated essential fatty acid that is very healthy for us.
Roasting the salmon is a healthy way to cook it because you aren’t using a lot of oil.
This easy salmon recipe uses two herbs to flavor it – parsley and tarragon. Both add wonderful flavor to the fish.
I love the addition of a few capers. The capers add such a wonderful bite of flavor to the salmon.
This is a wonderful recipe for entertaining. The capers really elevate the salmon to a very company worthy dinner recipe.
