By west757

The Stiletto Chef, Candice Kumai, offers healthy dishes on her blog "Stiletto Chef Scoop". This salmon dish incorporates flax seeds with omega rich salmon to satisfy anyone's palate.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup flax seed meal
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 lemon, halved
• Four 8-ounce salmon fillets
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Stir the flax seed meal, basil, garlic powder, and cayenne together in a medium bowl. Squeeze a lemon half (save the other half for serving) over the salmon, season with salt, and then press a salmon fillet top-side down into the rub, coating both sides of the salmon.
3. Place the salmon skin-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
4. Bake the fillets until they yield only slightly to semi-firm pressure and they flake easily, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, squeeze the remaining lemon half on top, and serve.
