Baked Salmon w/ Brown Rice, Sliced Carrots, and Whole Grain Bread


Dinner Tonight: Baked Salmon w/ Brown Rice, Sliced Carrots, and Whole Grain Bread




It was healthy, hearty, and simple dinner tonight, Baked Salmon w/ Brown Rice, Sliced Carrots, and Whole Grain Bread. For my Salmon I had a small fillet of Salmon that I seasoned with a quarter teaspoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Parsly, and McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. I baked the fillet at 400 degrees for 12 minutes, just enough so it would flake using a fork. Besides just tasting fantastic the health benefits of wid caught Salmon are numerous.


Some of those healthy benefits are Cancer Prevention - Vitamin D has been shown to play a crucial role in lowering the risk of several types of cancer, Eye Health - It is well known that fish oil is good for improving vision. It also helps in avoiding age related macular degeneration, Cardiovascular Health - Intake of salmon has been connected to a decreased risk of numerous cardiovascular problems, such as heart attack, stroke, heart arrhythmia and high blood pressure, and Skin and Hair Health - The omega-3s found in salmon lock moisture into skin cells, encouraging the production of strong collagen and elastin fibers, which contribute to more youthful looking skin. These are just 4 of the benefits.


Along with the Salmon I had Uncle Ben's Brown Rice, sliced Carrots, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
