Introduction: Eating for Better Sleep and Recovery
Dinner at Healthy Good Food is about more than just calories; it’s about recovery. Baked Salmon is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which have been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation and support heart health. Pairing it with asparagus provides a low-carb, high-fiber side that won’t leave you feeling bloated before bed.
Nutritional Highlights
- Wild-Caught Salmon: Contains Vitamin D and Selenium, which are vital for a strong immune system.
- Asparagus: A great source of folate and fiber. It acts as a natural prebiotic, feeding the healthy bacteria in your gut.
- Garlic and Lemon: These are natural flavor enhancers that double as immunity boosters.
Master the One-Pan Method
- Preheat: Set your oven to 200°C. A hot oven is key to getting a slightly crispy skin on the salmon while keeping the inside moist.
- Arrange: Place your salmon fillet in the center of a baking tray and surround it with fresh asparagus spears.
- Seasoning: Brush both with olive oil. Grate fresh garlic over the salmon and top with thin lemon slices.
- Timing: Bake for exactly 12-15 minutes. Overcooking salmon is a common mistake; it should be opaque and flake easily when touched with a fork.
Conclusion: Consistency is the key to a healthy lifestyle. By incorporating these three meals into your weekly routine, you are taking a major step toward long-term wellness and energy.
