Quick Prep and Omega-3
If you’re looking for a quick, nutritious and flavorful dinner tonight,
you’ve come to the right place. Requiring only a handful of ingredients
and taking less than 20 minutes to prepare, this lemon Dijon salmon is
the perfect alternative to quick-fix frozen dinners. Although higher in
fat than most other fish, salmon provides healthy omega-3 fat, which,
according to researchers, may play a role in reducing risk for heart
disease, dementia, diabetes, even cancer.
