Lemon and Herb Baked Salmon with Garlic Spinach and Salad

Dinner last night was DELICIOUS! It always helps when it's healthy and simple as well!

I buy the wild caught salmon that doesn't have any added coloring and flavor at Walmart. I just pulled it out of the freezer earlier in the day and let it soak in the sink with cold water for a few hours until I was ready to bake it.

Pat dry.

Rub with cold-pressed olive oil and a variety of herbal spices. The one we have here is a mix from Costco for seafood. Make sure to read all of the ingredients and make sure that there aren't any artificial colors, flavors, MSG, etc.

I like to add fresh lemon and dried rosemary. Bake at 350-375 for maybe around 45 minutes. Mine cooked faster than I planned for, so it was cooked a little more than our liking, but it was still yummy. When it's opague, and flaky...it's more than ready!

My sister commented once on how crazy it was that I could just pull out some of the vegetables that I have "sitting around" in our fridge and make a full salad. Just add the veggies that you love. Go for a RAINBOW of colors that way you are getting a variety of different nutrients. If I use any dressing at all, I usually squeeze some lemon and sea salt on my salad.

For the garlic spinach, drizzle some cold-pressed olive oil in a pan with some chopped garlic and heat until it's slightly fragrant.

Add organic spinach.

Only cook until it begins to wilt, stirring well so that it will absorb those yummy olive oil and garlic flavors.

YUM!
