Baking fish in parchment paper might seem like an odd thing to do, but it uses steam to create perfectly tender cooked salmon. Add in some eggs and spinach, and you’ve got a simple yet nutritious meal that can be enjoyed any time of the day.
The American Heart Association encourages eating two serves of oily fish, like salmon, a week. This is due to the high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids in the salmon, which can significantly improve heart health, reduce inflammation, and lower cholesterol levels. The clean taste of salmon pairs perfectly with the garlic, basil, and sliced lemon.
Eggs are also a vital part of this recipe. Apart from being delicious and versatile, you can enjoy eggs any time of the day. Eggs also provide an inexpensive protein option for the keto diet, as there is about 7g of protein in a medium-sized egg. The egg yolk also contains good amounts of B vitamins and selenium, so don’t throw it away!
This recipe calls for frozen spinach for its convenience. However, feel free to replace it with fresh spinach if you have any on hand. Note that this might change the cooking times, so adjust accordingly. The cooking time will also be affected by the size and thickness of the salmon fillets, so it’s essential to keep an eye on the fish during the baking process.
Don’t forget to top with fresh chives before serving. Enjoy!
