Why This Meal

Simple Ingredients. Deep Nourishment.

Wild-caught salmon is one of the most beautifully nourishing foods you can share with your family — rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support the brain, heart, and every cell in the body.

Paired with fresh herbs, bright lemon, and roasted broccoli — a cruciferous vegetable that gently supports the body's natural detox pathways — this is a meal that comes together in minutes, yet gives so much back.

Food can be simple. Healing can be delicious.

FOR THE SALMON

  • 4 wild-caught salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
