It's the new year, and you know what that means! It's time for new resolutions, better routines and healthier eating. Salmon is a delicious source of protein packed with good healthy fats. Paring it with O- Live Robust extra virgin olive oil is a super healthy, delicious combination.
This recipe is a delicious, light meal and is incredible easy to make. If you’ve got less than 30 minutes for dinner, this healthy salmon dish will quickly become a weeknight go-to. With a little more time, this dish can easily be dressed up with a couple sides for a nice date night meal.
We use a combination of dried and fresh basil for this recipe, but feel free to use what you have on hand. Parmesan cheese is an awesome, salty crunch on top of salmon, but if you are dairy-free, try grinding up seasoned almonds in a food processor and topping it with that instead!
