Nutrition Notes

What Health Benefits Does Salmon Have?

Salmon is a great protein-packed nutrition powerhouse. Eating it will give you omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, potassium, selenium and the antioxidant astaxanthin. The omega-3s alone have been connected to reduced inflammation and lower blood pressure, as well as lowering the risk of certain cancers. If you choose sockeye salmon, you’ll also get more vitamin D than other types of salmon. Vitamin D is not found naturally in very many foods.

Is Asparagus Healthy?

Asparagus has some impressive health benefits. It contains many essential nutrients, including vitamin K, folate, vitamin C, fiber and potassium. Regularly eating asparagus may help lower blood pressure, reduce cancer risk and fight cognitive decline. Asparagus also acts as a natural diuretic, so despite it causing that distinctive stinky pee smell, it may help release any extra fluid your body is holding onto.

Tips from the Test Kitchen

What Type of Potatoes Can I Use?

We call for baby Yukon Gold potatoes that have a nice creamy, yellow flesh. Baby potatoes are nice for roasting since their size is mostly uniform, and all you have to do is slice them in half. Other potatoes to try are baby red potatoes or fingerling potatoes that are halved lengthwise.

How Do I Know When Salmon Is Done?

If you have an instant-read thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the salmon until it registers 145°F. It’s best to use an instant-read thermometer to check for internal doneness, but there are a couple of cues to look for if you don’t have one. Salmon is cooked when it turns opaque all the way through and flakes easily with a fork.

Recipe Variations to Try

We drizzle the salmon with a mixture of melted butter, lemon juice and garlic for the recipe. It’s simple and allows the flavors of the salmon, potatoes and asparagus to shine. Feel free to add your favorite spices, such as smoked paprika, cayenne pepper or cumin. Make your own Easy Salmon Seasoning, All-Purpose Herb Seasoning or Paprika Spice Blend and sprinkle it on the salmon for an extra layer of flavor. Or serve the meal with creamy and tangy sauces like Tzatziki, Dill Mustard Sauce or Creamy Yogurt-Dill Sauce on the side.
