This recipe isn’t just about a meal, it’s about unlocking a nutritional powerhouse: Vitamin D! We’re talking protection against heart disease, diabetes, even stronger bones, and even a helping hand with weight management.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- The Vitamin D All-Stars:
- 2 Salmon Fillets (baked or grilled)
- 1 cup chopped Portobello Mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- The Flavor Boost:
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Unleash the Vitamin D
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for baking or heat a grill pan for grilling. Season your salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of oregano. Bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on thickness) or grill until cooked through.
Step 2: Sautéing the Flavor Symphony
While the salmon cooks, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the red onion and bell pepper for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the portobello mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, or until tender.
Step 3: The Grand Vitamin D Reveal
Once the salmon is cooked and the veggies are tender, plate your salmon. Top it with the veggie mixture and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
The Power of Vitamin D on Your Plate
This dish is bursting with Vitamin D goodness from the salmon and the mushrooms. Vitamin D helps regulate calcium absorption, which is key for strong bones and can help prevent osteoporosis. Studies also suggest Vitamin D may play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and even weight management!
Enjoy a delicious and healthy meal that empowers your body with the incredible benefits of Vitamin D!
