4 salmon fillets
When it comes to salmon, there are many reasons why you should be eating this delicious fish. First off, omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining your health and preventing disease. They can help regulate blood pressure, improve heart health and lower cholesterol levels. Salmon is also a good source of protein since it contains all nine essential amino acids (the building blocks for muscle tissue). In addition to being low in calories and fat free, salmon provides zinc and selenium which aid in immune system function as well as reducing risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease or stroke such as high blood pressure or diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2).
Salmon is also rich in vitamin D which has been shown to promote bone growth by promoting calcium absorption from your intestines into the bloodstream where it’s transported throughout your body via its mineralized reserves—your bones! Bone density increases when you consume more vitamin D especially if you’re female due to menstruation patterns during perimenopause/menopause transition periods between ages 50+.

1/4 cup butter, cut into small squares
Place the butter in a small bowl and use a knife to cut it into small pieces. Use a paper towel to wipe off the knife after cutting.
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
It’s a good idea to use lemon juice to flavor the fish. It’s also a good source of vitamin C, which is an important antioxidant that can help protect against certain diseases.
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes, crushed
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
Dill weed is a type of herb that has a strong flavor and can be found in the spice section of your local grocery store. It’s used in many recipes for its immune-boosting properties, so you don’t need to use much!
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons salt is equivalent to 1/8 of a teaspoon.
4 salmon fillets contain about 24 grams (g) or 0.7 ounces of salt. That’s equal to 0.9% of the recommended daily amount for adults and children ages 4 and up, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). The AHA recommends that most Americans eat less than 2,300 mg per day—or just over half an ounce of salt—to prevent high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease; however, many people consume more than 3 times that amount!
When you eat too much sodium chloride (salt), it can cause fluid retention in your body which raises blood pressure levels as well as contribute positively towards swelling ankles/feet & legs due to extra water retention capacity needed from sodium chloride intake – this leads us into our next topic…
pepper to taste (optional)
Pepper is another good idea. It adds a little extra flavor and makes the butter taste even better! The pepper also helps with digestion, so if you want to add it, go ahead!
This tastes delicious and is easy to make for a great dinner.
