    When there is an opportunity to bake an entire meal on a single sheet, we are going to take it - we believe you should embrace the non-challenge too! In a world of fast, convenient foods, it takes a bit of a workout to get beyond the ease of pre-prepared options.

    Sure, canned fish is still better for you than the slice of pizza that everyone else seems to be eating, but if what you are after is true, life and happiness supporting health, then you are going to have to go out and find those quality ingredients that make you feel great.

    It's not always easy, and sometimes it even feels like it takes a lot of time to eat "better," yet at the end of a nourishing meal, you'll find that the extra effort was worth it. Take this baked salmon with green beans, for instance - and yes, it is okay to consume green beans on occasion.

    Let's focus on the salmon, where the bulk of the protein, Omega-3 fatty acids, potassium, selenium, and B vitamins are. In general, fish, along with shellfish, are extremely nutrient-dense, meaning that they pack a good vitamin and mineral punch in exchange for the calories that they lack.

    And while calories are not much of a concern, vitamins (from food) are certainly important in a healthy diet.

    Wash it down with a thyme lemonade, and all will be right with your day.

    Lemon-Garlic Baked Salmon Recipe

    Serves: 2 Prep: 20 min Cook: 12 min

    Ingredients

    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
    • 2 tbsp. chopped parsley
    • 2 tbsp. cooking fat of your choice, melted
    • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
    • 2 8oz. salmon fillets, skin-on
    • Lemon slices
    • Green beans, to serve

    Preparation

    1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
