Salmon with Lemon, Capers & Rosemary

This is a tasty recipe that is quick and easy for busy week night dinners.

Salmon is low in calories and saturated fat, yet high in protein and a unique type of health promoting fat, Omega 3 essential fatty acids. As their name implies essential fatty acids are essential for human health but because they cannot be made by the body, they must be obtained from foods.
