Salmon with Tomato Basil

My creation: Salmon with tomato basil and olive oil

Salmon is my favourite fish. It's easy to cook, packed with Omega-3 fatty acids and is delicious! Omega-3 fatty acids are also known as polyunsaturated fats - the good kind of fat we want in our body to help lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, our "bad" cholesterol. These fatty acids are an excellent source of protein - research has shown it may help prevent heart disease, stroke, cancer, arthritis, psoriasis, depression and Alzheimer's Disease.

I discovered my joy for cooking over the past few years and have been noticing what ingredients go together and ones that do not taste so great together. Olive oil, tomato and basil are three ingredients that complement each other very well. I love making tasty dishes without any added salt.
