[ RECIPE ] Herb & Lemon-Crusted Salmon

17/02/2016 by Adam

I had to check my calendar this morning to make sure we’re actually halfway through February. I mean it seemed like only last week I was enjoying a glass (or five) of Prosecco, counting down the seconds to 2016!

Yet here we are, 48 days into the new year (I think that’s right) and already around 35 blog posts published and shared with you food and fitness lovers.

I’d say I was on track but there’s always more to learn in this crazy world of blogging. Just as I start to feel satisfied I come across a new blog, notice their incredible photography and feel like I am not even halfway through this journey yet!

I guess we all have moments like that though, where we take a step back and wonder what exactly we’re doing and why but then remember that we’re motivated and probably doing much more than the average person.

And speaking of average, there’s certainly nothing average about the health benefits of Salmon.

Herb & Lemon-crusted Salmon

As I mentioned in a previous post about various superfoods, this oily fish contains plenty of nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids that will benefit your short and long-term health.

Not to mention it tastes great!

Today’s dish is straightforward to make and you barely have to do anything with the ingredients except chop them finely and sprinkle over the salmon itself.

The flavourings from the zest of the lemon that give the crust it’s sharpness and is perfect with a bit of spice from the chilli.

Let me know what you think as always.
