About Baked salmon with lemon

Baked Salmon with Lemon is a simple yet flavorful dish commonly associated with Western and Mediterranean cuisine. This recipe typically includes fresh salmon fillets, lemon slices or juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs such as dill or parsley. Salmon is a nutrient-packed fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, B vitamins, and essential minerals like selenium. The addition of lemon enhances its taste with a zesty tang while providing a boost of vitamin C. Cooking the salmon by baking helps preserve its natural nutrients and avoids extra calories from frying. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, making this dish a wholesome option. However, portion control is key, as salmon can be calorie-dense if consumed excessively. Ideal for those seeking a nutritious, easy-to-prepare meal, this dish combines health benefits with rich, satisfying flavors.
