Crispy skin salmon is one of those that never disappoints. It's quick, it's , and it pairs well with pretty much anything-roasted veggies, salad, rice, you name it. You can have it prepped and cooked in less than 15 minutes using your oven with a "quick and simple" recipe from .

Adding salmon to your dinner rotation once a week is a simple and tasty way to support brain function and boost your immune system. Thanks to the perfect mix of seasoning and crispy texture, it's both full of flavour and great for your health. Wild salmon in particular is packed with high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for keeping your brain sharp and your hormones in balance. It's actually one of the most nutrient-rich foods out there.

Recent research suggests we should be getting at least 3 grams of omega-3s every day to support brain health and keep the immune system running smoothly, and it plays a role in slowing down biological ageing.

Salmon is also a great source of B vitamins, which help your body turn food into energy and support hormone regulation. It has more potassium (per gram) than bananas, which helps maintain hydration, regulate blood pressure, and reduce the risk of stroke.

Salmon is loaded with selenium and a powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin. This antioxidant not only gives salmon its vibrant colour, but it also helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL), supports heart health, and fights inflammation throughout the body. If you're dealing with high cholesterol, try adding 3 to 4 grams of omega-3s daily before jumping into medications like statins.

  • Turn on your broiler (set it to high if you have the option). Move one of your oven racks to the third shelf from the top. Avoid the very top shelf-salmon fat can splatter and hit the heating element, which can cause sparks.

  • Prep your baking surface. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. If you don't have one, use a heat-safe casserole dish that can handle high temps.

  • Place the salmon skin-side down in the dish. Lightly brush the top (the flesh side) with olive oil or your preferred cooking oil.

  • Season generously. I like to go with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and sea salt. If you're on a Low-FODMAP diet, swap in herbs like oregano and thyme instead.

  • Broil for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillet. Ten minutes usually does the trick, but if you prefer your salmon on the rare side (a little raw in the center), go for 6 to 8 minutes.

  • Check for doneness. Salmon is fully cooked at 145°F (63°C). To be sure, stick a meat thermometer into the thickest part and wait until the temperature holds steady.
