HONEY GINGER SALMON
What can be easier, healthier and omega-3 fatty acids superior than an oven roasted salmon fillet with a leafy salad for dinner? It is definitely a meal my youngest son is requesting quite regularly. He is such a fish lover that he can eat half of this meal all by himself, he asks for seconds two or three times! And in case I didn't convinced you yet...Salmon is high in selenium, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, niacin and pantothenic acid. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce blood sugar levels. Garlic possesses organosulphur and phenolic compounds.
