Roasted Salmon

[milleniumgirl]

Dietitian's tip: The American Heart Association recommends two servings of fish every week. Salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep blood from forming clots and protect against irregular heartbeats that may cause a heart attack.

Serves 2
Ingredients

2 5-ounce pieces salmon with skin
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves (optional)

Directions

Preheat over to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Rub salmon all over with 2 teaspoons oil. Roast skin side down on foil-lined baking sheet until fish is cooked through, about 12 minutes. (Check if fish flakes easily with fork after it bakes 10 minutes. Continue baking only if it doesn't.) Using a metal spatula, lift salmon off skin and place salmon on serving plate. Discard skin. Sprinkle salmon with herbs and serve.
