Salmon and other types of fish including tuna, mackerel and trout contain important nutrients called Omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3’s work to reduce inflammation and slow plaque buildup in the blood vessels. Omega 3’s can also help to reduce triglyceride levels which lead to a healthier heart! Aim to incorporate fish into your diet twice a week!
Ingredients
4 skinless salmon fillets (about 4 ounces each)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 mangoes, diced
2 peaches, peeled and diced
½ small red onion, diced
½ jalapeño pepper, minced (or green bell pepper for less spice!)
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Juice of 2 limes
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place on baking sheet. Bake for 18 minutes or until cooked through.
- While fish cooks, prepare salsa. Combine mangoes, peaches, onion, jalapeno, parsley and lime juice in a medium bowl.
- Serve salmon fillets topped with ¼ cup salsa. Enjoy!
