Salmon health benefits

I try to eat fish two times a week. Salmon is quite fat fish, but it includes polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3 fatty acids, extremely valuable for the body. Of course it’s also a great source of protein. If it comes to vitamins, you can assimilate from it a lot of D and B vitamins.

However, you should pay attention to where your salmon comes from. In many markets there are breeding fishes. Actually, pink or orange color of salmon comes from special feed additive. Breeding salmon has more omega-3 fatty acids, but it has less vitamins. The best option would be to buy salmon from ecological farming, which are strictly regulated by EU law.

Ingredients

  • salmon fillet

  • roughly ground macadamia nuts

  • panko breadcrumbs

  • grated Parmesan

  • melted coconut oil

  • salt and pepper

  • lemon juice (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F / 220°C.
  • Brush your salmon with oil, season it with salt and pepper and squeeze a little bit of lemon juice on top.
  • If you’ve got a thicker piece of salmon (around 1 1/2″ thick) – bake it for a few minutes before making a crust. Make sure to put pieces of salmon close to each other.
    If you’ve got a thinner piece- the topping can be added right away.
  • Combine panko, macadamia nuts and Parmesan. Pour a little bit of coconut oil over your salmon and coat it with breadcrumbs.
  • The breadcrumbs doesn’t need a long time to toast up nice and golden brown. Bake your salmon for 12-15 minutes. Enjoy 🙂

Notes

  • If you don’t have or don’t want to use macadamia nuts – you can use pecans as well.
