Oven-Roasted Garlic Rosemary Salmon

It feels like spring! I think the weather is finally turning for good, and this weekend was truly glorious. I was tempted to pull out my grill, but instead went for a meal that was bright and happy—a garlic rosemary salmon and roasted okra.

If that doesn’t say “spring in the South” to you, I don’t know what does.

Bright red wild-caught sockeye salmon from Alaska is dusted with freshly-ground salt and pepper, then packed with minced fresh garlic and rosemary (from my own herb garden!) and roasted for a few minutes to bring all the flavors together.

Fast, easy, and healthy. Add a side of roasted okra, and that’s a happy Sunday night.

Peel and finely mince the garlic, then strip the rosemary leaves and mince them as well.

It’s good to leave your salmon out of the fridge for 20 minutes or so, to let it come to room temperature.  Preheat your oven to 425 F.

Place in a pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Sprinkle the salt and pepper on the salmon, then add the rosemary and garlic (press down a little to keep it from falling off).

Bake for around 12 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork. Serve right away.

Such a delicious, healthy meal…keto-friendly, gluten-free, high-protein.  And so fast and easy!  This would be a great meal if you’re trying to survive a super low-carb diet as well.
