Go Fish

Good Housekeeping's recent article on anti-aging mentions that its smart to consume omega 3s in fatty fish like salmon as part of anti-aging diet. Benefits of eating salmon including: lowering your choloesteral levels, increases collagen levels, reducing the visibility of wrinkles, and gives your brain a boost by leading to improved moods and attitiude. Silly me. I just thought it tasted good!

Anyhow, besides sharing the benefits , I thought I would share with you a favorite quick, easy to make recipe. It works well as a serving for one and can be doubled as needed.

Oven Roasted Salmon
Serves One

Ingredients
2 Tablespoons butter
4 oz salmon filet (skinned)
Salt and Pepper, or your favorite seafood serving.

Prep Steps (10 minutes start to finish)
1. Place 2 Tablespoons of butter in a baking dish with a 2" sides.
2. Place dish in oven. Pre-heat oven to 475 degrees. Butter will melt during the pre-heating.
3. In the meantime, season both sides of the salmon filet
4. Place salmon in butter dish. Cook 6 minutes.
5. Flip salmon. Cook another 6 minutes.

Observations

• Almost any dry-rub seasoning can be used in this recipe. I like the CharCrust brand, particularly the Ginger Teriyaki and the Garlic Sun-dried tomato dry rubs. Approx. $3.99 a box at the local supermarket or butcher shop.
• For a quick meal, serve with sides of wild rice and steamed asparagus. Yum.
