Today, I want to share with you a recipe that I have been using to cook Salmon. I love the way this dish is prepared. It takes less than 20 minutes to prepare from start to finish. I will also share a yummy side dish that you can also add to this dish. In this article you will discover how to quickly use Salmon in your weekly food intake easily and effortlessly.  Salmon has fabulous properties – (recommended by health experts) such as omega 3 and fatty acids that we need in our diet which is not only essential as part of your staple diet – especially if you are on the journey to lose belly fat & fat loss in general.

Let’s get right into it then. 

2 pieces of salmon tail

3 handfuls of freshly grinded flax seeds

2 handfuls of zatar ( dried thyme, sumuc & sesame seeds)

Pinch of salt and cracked pepper

Fresh oregano

Fresh thyme

3 carrots sliced in quarters (length wise)

a handful of broccoli 

couple of tablespoons of olive oil

( ideally you need to use a deep non stick dish for baking)

Yes – that is all you really need. 

What you want to do first off is quickly rinse the salmon tails and just place on a paper towel to drain off any excess water.

In a large bowl mix the flax seeds and zatar.

Place salmon tail one at a time in mixing bowl (fleshy part facing you) and gently collect the dried mixture and pat on the top part of the salmon tails. You should cover the salmon tails with this dry mixture until it completely covered. (do the sides of the salmon as well)

Place the stems of the fresh oregano and thyme in your non stick backing dish.

Then place the salmon in the middle of the dish with enough space between the two drizzle with a little olive oil (just a touch – as the salmon will give off its own oils). 

In  another bowl marinate your carrots and place evenly in the baking dish.

Finally sprinkle a small amount of salt on the salmon, crack some pepper over it and bake in on the middle shelf of the oven. (in about 8 minutes you will also add the broccoli in the baking dish.) Only you know your oven so you can judge how long it needs.

15 minutes should have passed and if you eat your salmon more towards the medium rare side then your dish is ready to be served. If not then leave the salmon in a little longer – although you may need to take out your carrots and broccoli.

Whilst the salmon is cooking you have time to prepare a simple baby rocket salad (dressing it with a very light white balsamic vinegar and olive oil) This will be your side salad. 

You also have had time to prepare the most delicious accompaniment to our baked salmon dish. And this is a great alternative to any sauce that you may find yourself tempting to make. 

In a saucepan cut up one small onion add a touch of mild curry (less than half a teaspoon) salt and pepper, sauté.  Then add half a head of broccoli (less if it is a large piece) and stir for a minute or two until it changes to a darker colour. Then add a little bit of water (half a cup) let it come to the boil for about 4-5 minutes. Test broccoli and see if it is soft enough for the fork to go through. If so then add half a cup of lite coconut organic milk and let it reduce. Leave it on a medium flame. In total this dish should not take you more than 12 minutes to make. Then once the broccoli is almost falling off the stems let take it off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes. 

If you have a blender then slowly add the broccoli with the coconut milk and blend. You should have a nice thick but still runny consistency. Let it sit in a bowl and continue with the rest of the mixture. Add a touch of salt.  You now have a creamy thick sauce which you can use for laying over your salmon.

Salmon, Greens, Nuts, Essential Oils – There you have it folks a simple easy and delicious baked salmon dish that any one enjoy. Not only good for you seeing it is loaded with omega 3 but you also are enjoying the essential fatty oils your body rightfully deserves with flavour.  And yes – you will be surprised how tasty broccoli is when it’s baked. Easy and simple ways to help you lose belly fat while still eating yummy dishes.

Tips: 

Keep the lid on the saucepan when cooking the broccoli. 

Keep and eye on the broccoli when it is baking ask it doesn’t need too much time 

If you have too much broccoli sauce left over simply put it in a container and freeze it. It is good for approx 1 month. 

Do not eat the salmon skin. Although tempting avoid eating it. You just feed your body a whole bunch of nutrition. 

Times on salmon are really going to depend on how you eat your salmon. I eat mine very moist so 15 minutes is plenty of time for it to cook.
