Immunity Boosting Meal

I was sick all last week and it was no fun. Started with a bad sore throat, turned into congestion, headache, fatigue, etc. Just your average crummy cold.

After countless cups of hot tea and Ibuprofen, I was ready for a really good, healthy meal. I was craving protein-packed foods and lots of vitamins. I pretty much made this meal up in like 5 minutes in my head. I just knew all these flavors would work excellently together, and they did.

If you're in need of an immunity-boosting meal, eat this.

Baked Atlantic Salmon with Spinach Salad:

• 1 salmon fillet
• 1/4 lemon, sliced
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/2 tsp vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• fresh black pepper
• 1/2 bunch fresh spinach, torn
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  
• 1/4 cup raw almonds, chopped
• 1 green onion, diced
• 1/2 tomato, diced

Preheat oven to 35o-degrees Fahrenheit. Place salmon in a shallow baking dash. Whisk the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, minced garlic and black pepper in a small bowl. Pour over salmon and top with lemon slices. Cover with foil and bake in oven for about 25 minutes or until salmon easily flakes with fork.

Combine the remaining ingredients for the salad. When salmon is finished cooking, poor the dripping sauce over the spinach salad and top with the fish.

Feel your body thank you.
