Baked Salmon with Rosemary and Pecans

When it comes to healthy fish, salmon can’t be beat. Rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, eating salmon regularly helps you achieve the recommended 1:1 ratio of omega-3 to omega 6 fatty acids. Topped with piney-flavored rosemary and crunchy pecans, the whole dish bakes up into a treasure of marine goodness.

Try adding our Paleo Pesto Sauce or Vegan Pesto to your salmon to impart even more flavor and if you prefer your fish with a slightly crispier texture, try frying the skin for a minute or two before placing the salmon in the oven.
