Health benefits of Grilled Salmon with Rosemary

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 dash pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsps fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tsps extra virgin olive oil
1 fl oz lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
16 oz salmon

Instructions

1. Cut the fish into 4 equal-size portions.

2. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary in a bowl. Brush the mixture onto the fish.

3. To grill, arrange the fish on a grill rack or use a grill basket sprayed with olive oil cooking spray.

4. Grill over medium-hot coals until the fish flakes easily (allow 4-6 minutes per 1/2" of thickness). If the fish is more than 1" thick, gently turn it halfway through grilling.

5. To broil, spray the rack of a broiler pan with olive oil cooking spray and arrange the fish on it.

6. Broil 4" from the heat for 4-6 minutes per 1/2" of thickness. If the fish is more than 1" thick, gently turn it halfway through broiling.

7. To serve, top the fish with capers, if using, and garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.
