I partnered with my favorite prenatal supplement brand, WeNatal, to develop this delicious, fertility-boosting Roasted Herby Salmon recipe. It’s the perfect protein entree for a nourishing meal that supports your fertility journey and overall health!

Salmon is not only an excellent source of protein but also rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that are crucial for hormone production, including estrogen and progesterone. These fatty acids also offer anti-inflammatory benefits, supporting fertility and overall health.

Salmon is one of the few food sources of vitamin D, which is important for hormone balance, fertility, and overall health. Being a low-mercury fish, wild caught salmon is a great choice while trying to conceive or during pregnancy, as limiting exposure to heavy metals like mercury is essential.

This dish is loaded with antioxidants! The salmon, herbs, and lemon juice provide a powerful dose of antioxidants that protect reproductive cells from damage and promote healthy cell growth, supporting your fertility journey.

Herb-Infused Roasted Salmon

Ingredients:

• 2, 6-oz boneless fillets of wild salmon
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh green onion, chopped
• juice of half a lemon
• 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• (optional) 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and pat dry.
3. In a bowl, combine cilantro, parsley, green onion, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour the herb mixture over the salmon fillets.
5. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes.

Pair it perfectly: This delicious salmon can be beautifully paired with roasted asparagus (simply roasted with olive oil, salt, and pepper at the same time as the salmon) and a quinoa salad (quinoa, walnuts, avocado, basil, and arugula) for a complete, nutrient-dense, and fertility-boosting meal!
