Simple flavorful broiled salmon

Salmon is a great addition to a diet due to its nutrient density and potential health benefits. Salmon is one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for brain function, heart health, and reducing inflammation in the body. Besides being a great source of protein, salmon is low in calories and packed with vitamins such as vitamin D and B12. Due to its high omega-3 content, consuming salmon regularly has been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease.

This is a very simple recipe for making a flavorful salmon dish that is a great dinner option. Very few ingredients and the simple cooking method makes it low FODMAP friendly and easy on the gut. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets, so be sure to keep an eye on them while broiling to avoid overcooking.
