This Mediterranean salmon is so simple and delicious. It will definitely be a recipe you make on repeat. The zestiness of the lemon combined with refreshing flavors of the mint make for a simple yet flavorful dish. It’s so easy it can be made for dinner, lunch or meal prep.
I’m sure you’re well aware of all the dietary benefits of salmon. It’s a protein that’s made on repeat in our household. Salmon is great for: heart health, bone health, and brain health. It also helps with the body’s anti-inflammatory functions. Along with so much more!
The salmon is divine sitting on top of a bed of arugula, grilled eggplant, and tomato. Arugula is not only delicious, it also has so many health benefits. Arugula is high in fiber, antioxidants, and calcium. It has been shown to reduce blood pressure and increase exercise performance which for me is a no brainer to include in my diet.
