Lemon Garlic Salmon

Today we'll be preparing a dish you've already seen regularly on our weekly menu and with good reason - lemon garlic salmon is healthy a fish with healthy omega-3 fatty acids and a recipe that's very low sodium, as long as we choose the right seasoning. But even better - this is so easy to make!

Check out these five ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons tub margarine unsalted

• 4 teaspoons minced garlic

• 2 teaspoons lemon pepper salt

• 4 4oz salmon fillets or steaks

• lemon wedges (to taste)

Preparation is simple:

• Season the salmon on both sides with the lemon pepper.

• Now melt margarine in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the garlic.

• Cook the fish for about 10 minutes per inch thickness, flipping halfway through to brown each side. It's done when the fish flakes easily with a fork.

• Finally squeeze a little lemon juice for a fresh zest of flavor and you have lemon garlic salmon ready for dinner!
