Honey Garlic Broiled Salmon Recipe

NEW YORK - May 17, 2017 - PRLog -- Honey garlic Broiled Salmon

Butter, honey, garlic, lemon and parsley - what more could you ask for? This sweet and savory salmon dish is sure to please even the pickiest eaters in your home!

Salmon is one of the best sources of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. These fats are considered essential, since your body can't make them, and they're linked to all sorts of amazing health benefits. Diets high in EPA and DHA can decrease inflammation, fight anxiety and depression, reduce the risk of cancer, lower blood pressure and improve heart health. Salmon is a flavorful lean protein, and a good source of B vitamins, antioxidants astaxanthin and selenium, and potassium.

Research shows that garlic helps boost our immune system, and may even reduce the severity of the cold and flu. It also helps to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and improve bone health. But the best thing it's got going for it? It's delicious! (Pro tip: when you cut or crush garlic, allow it to sit for 15 minutes to raise the level of health-boosting compounds.) Lemons and parsley lend both flavor and antioxidants to round out this meal.
