Salmon with Vegetables

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat.  Omega-3s are an essential fatty acid (which means your body cannot synthesize them, you must consume them in foods). Eating foods high in omega-3 will reduce inflammation, decrease triglycerides, reduce your risk of heart disease, and facilitate brain health. Check out this salmon recipe! Pair it with a side of rice, garlic bread, or cheesy-bread to add a serving of whole grains.

Ingredients:
4 oz. Salmon
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small red onion, sliced
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
1 clove garlic
1 cup fresh spinach
2 tsp olive oil

1. Place foil on a baking sheet and place salmon on top. Flavor salmon as preferred. Broil the salmon at 400 degrees F for 4-6 minutes, or until the inside is cooked.
2. Saute green pepper, red pepper, onion, and garlic with olive oil on high heat. After 5 minutes turn off the heat and add the spinach and cilantro. Continue to mix the vegetables, waiting until the spinach wilts.
3. Plate the vegetables on a plate and top with the salmon.
