Wild salmon contains an antioxidant called astaxanthin, which is what makes the wild salmon meat a beautiful dark pink to red color.

It’s because of its natural diet!

Although wild-caught salmon typically costs a bit more than farmed salmon, it’s definitely worth its weight!

Wild-caught salmon has more vitamins, minerals, and anti-inflammatory benefits.

I try to purchase salmon when I notice wild-caught salmon is on SALE.

If it’s a really great sale, then maybe I’ll stock the freezer too.
-> This recipe is EXCELLENT for meal prep as well!

Simply add 1/2 cup of brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice, fresh lemon wedges, and your salmon filet with some tomato mixture to each food prep container.

Stays great in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 2 days.

4 servings

Ingredients:

• 4, 6-ounce salmon filets, skinless and boneless

• sea salt and ground pepper, to taste

• 2 Tbsps extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 15-ounces cherry tomatoes

• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives

• 2 Tbsps capers

• 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced

• 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning

To serve:
cooked brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
fresh chopped herbs like basil and/or parsley to garnish

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f.

Place your salmon filets in a rectangular baking dish and season with sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and rub with 1 tablespoon of oil.
Bake in your preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the remaining oil with tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic, and Italian seasoning.

Season to your taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and top with your tomato mixture.

Return to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and the tomatoes begin to burst.

Assemble your meal prep bowls by adding a base of cooked grains like quinoa or brown rice, and top equally with your salmon and tomato mixture.

Sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs.
Enjoy!
