Roasted Salmon: The Perfect and Healthy Addition to your Holiday Menu
Eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids is super important for a well-balanced and healthy diet. And with the Holiday season here and all of us spending time playing out in the snow and the mountains why not add this healthy, yet super-filling dish to your Christmas season menu?
Another reason it is a great addition to your menu is that the American Heart Association suggests that people eat at least two servings of salmon (or another fish hish in omega-3’s) each week. This recipe is quick, easy, and a true gourmet dining experience, making it perfect for the Holidays.

Roasted Salmon with Tomato, Onion and Tarragon
Serves: Six
Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
6 Salmon filets
Olive oil for coating and serving
Fresh salt and pepper to taste
6 fresh tarragon sprigs
2-3 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
Red wine vinegar to garnish
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and oil a roasting pan. Coat the filets with olive oil, ground salt and pepper and lay on pan. Top each filet with a tarragon sprig. Mix the chopped tomato with the onion and sprinkle over salmon. Roast until juices begin to college in the pan and the salmon begins to flake, about 10-12 minutes depending on thickness. Remove salmon and let sit for ten minutes. Splash fish with olive oil and red-wine vinegar and serve with tomato/onion topping.
Enjoy and then get back out into those Idaho mountains!
