Honey Roasted Salmon is our favorite way to enjoy one of the healthiest foods on the planet!
Just one serving of salmon contains:
- about 500 iu of vitamin D. Read more here about why vitamin D is so essential to our health.
- more than half of your omega-3 fatty acid requirement. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce inflammation, improve memory, prevent Alzheimer’s Disease, kill cancer cells, and protect the heart, eyes, and skin. Read more here about the importance of omega-3 fatty acids to our health.
- more than double our daily recommended amount of Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is necessary to keep our nerves and red blood cells healthy. It is also important for our hormonal balance and even affects our mood and energy levels.
Make sure to buy wild caught and not farmed salmon. Farmed salmon contains mercury, toxins, antibiotics, and pesticides.

I tried this today and we all really enjoyed it. I used freshly ground black pepper and a little Italian seasoning because I only had ground thyme and it turned out lovely. Served it with brown rice and some veggies for a delicious and healthy meal. I loved the concept of the sauce! Thank you for this recipe!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment 💝
