Garlic and Rosemary Roasted Salmon

It’s that time again! Monday means, it’s time for This Week’s Cravings.

Our theme this week is Let’s Get Healthy… Healthy Meals & Snacks. More on that in a minute.

I’m proud to be co-hosting This Week’s Cravings along with Tina over at MOMS CRAZY COOKING, Kristen from From My Tiny Kitchen, Angie from Big Bear’s Wife  & Kristi from Veggie Converter.

Have you made any Healthy Meals & Snacks and want to link up with us? Go ahead and link it up down below in the linky, just please make sure it’s a Healthy Meal and/or Snack. Also, please make sure you read the simple rules first.

Now, onto my yummy recipe.

I could seriously eat Salmon everyday. I love it so much. Salmon and Tilapia are my two favorite kinds of fish and if I could live off them only, I would. When we are looking for a quick meal, but want to make it a really healthy meal, this is one of my go-to recipes. It’s so easy that the kids can make it too with no help from me, which is always a plus. Of course mini-chef is almost 14 so there’s not much left she can’t do.

Anyway, you should make this for dinner. Soon. Trust me.

Garlic and Rosemary Roasted Salmon

• 2lbs of Salmon fillets
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• 1-2 Tbs. Chopped Rosemary Sprigs (more or less if desired)
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Preheat your oven to 425°.

Peel and chop the garlic or you can simply use minced garlic which we do.

Next, chop the rosemary. I use dried chopped rosemary sometimes, and it works just as well.

Cover a baking sheet with foil and then spread a very thin layer of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on the foil. Place the salmon fillets on the foil.  Brush more olive oil evenly over the salmon. Add the sea salt and the pepper, then the rosemary and then the garlic.

Place in oven. Roast for about 10 minutes or until the salmon is flaky.

We serve this with these roasted green beans, quinoa and a fresh salad for a healthy well rounded meal.
