Salmon Fish:
Salmon is one of the most nutritious types of fish that offers several health benefits. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and other essential nutrients, salmon is wonderful for hair and skin health. The great taste and excellent health benefits of salmon make it one of the most loved fish in the world.
Considered a superfood, the nutrition facts of salmon include antioxidant elements like selenium and other minerals like phosphorus, zinc, and potassium, as well as the vitamin B group—riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, B6, folate, and B12. Therefore, salmon aids in good health, as it makes up for most of the mineral and vitamin deficiencies in our body if we make it a part of our diet.

Quick Broiled Salmon with Ginger Mint Salsa
Variety is an important part of Healthy Weight Loss. This great tasting salsa is especially good served on salmon.

Ingredients:
¼ lb salmon fillet, cut in half
2 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Extra virgin olive oil, to taste
Salsa
1 ripe tomato, diced
½ cup green onions, minced
1 tsp ginger, minced
2 tsp fresh mint, minced
1 tsp lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat broiler and place an all stainless steel skillet (be sure the
handle is also stainless steel) or cast iron pan under the heat for
about 10 minutes to get it very hot. The pan should be 5 to 7 inches
from the heat source.
2. Rub salmon with 2 tsp fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper. (You can
Quick Broil with the skin on; it just takes a minute or two longer.
The skin will peel right off after cooking.)
3. Using a hot pad, pull pan away from heat and place salmon on hot
pan, skin side down. Return to broiler. Keep in mind that it is cooking
rapidly on both sides so it will be done very quickly, usually in 7
minutes depending on thickness. Test with a fork for doneness. It
will flake easily when it is cooked. Salmon is best when it is still
pink inside.
4. While the salmon is cooking, combine all salsa ingredients.
5. When salmon is ready, spoon salsa over salmon.
6. Garnish with mint and a sprinkle of extra virgin olive oil
