Salmon is great for reducing inflammation, shallots (and garlic) are high in antioxidants and Vitamin C to help boost the immune system and protect against infection, and oregano has antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial properties to fight off yeast infections. It also provides iron and folate from the spinach to support reproductive health, as well as lycopene from tomatoes to improve blood flow for healthier tissue.
All you need is 30 minutes – let’s get cooking!
Ingredients:
- 2 fresh salmon fillets, skin removed

7 ingredients/30 minutes/2-3 servings
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, shallots, oregano, and lemon juice, and season with sea salt and pepper. Place the salmon fillets into the mixture and let it marinate for 10 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the fillets on the baking sheet, and spread out the spinach and tomatoes around it. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily. Voila!
