Sometimes it’s the simple addition of a herb and lemon juice that can bring out the natural flavours of the food. And my Baked Salmon with Lemon Sauce is deliciously tasty and has amazing health benefits as well.
One of my favorite fish is wild-caught salmon, which is high in vitamin D, vitamin B12 and protein and is an excellent source of healthy Omega-3’s.
(Serves 4)
Preheat oven 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4
Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
Using 2 T of coconut oil rub the steaks all over and season with salt and pepper. If you would like some extra spice sprinkle 1 tsp dried chilli flakes over the salmon steaks.
Place skin-side down (if your salmon has the skin on) on a baking tray lined with baking paper. (Make sure the oven is hot) Bake in oven for 12-15 mins until opaque and flaky.
While cooking melt the remaining coconut oil in a pan. When coconut oil is completely melted add the lemon juice and allow to foam up.
Add the chopped parsley and pour sauce over the fish.
Replace salmon steaks with Tempeh pieces
Serve with roasted vegetables and asparagus or it also goes great with my sweet potato green salad.
I hope you enjoy this quick and healthy meal! Leave me a comment below and let me know how it turns out and if you made any substitutions. I love hearing from you.
