Salmon contains astaxanthin, a lipid-soluble powerful antioxidant, that can help you look and feel better.  In addition, salmon has EPA and DHA, the two omega-3 fatty acids that clinically proved to help reduce risk factors for heart disease, including lower down blood cholesterol and blood pressure.  Salmon filet is high in protein with zero-glycemic index, make it an excellent choice for diabetes.  Roasted in garlic-oil paste not only adds fantastic aroma and taste to your nose and mouth, but also provides health benefits.  Olive Oil can help increase astaxanthin absorption.  The sulfur-containing allicin in garlic has ability to inhibit cholesterol synthesis, and has anti-microbial activities.  In addition to ample vitamins A, B complex, C, and K, the eugenol component of basil's oils can work like many non-steroidal over-the counter anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS), which is anti-inflammatory.  Lemon are the most nutritionally powerful fruits that contain a lot of antioxidants and flavonoids, including citric acid, vitamin C, hesperetin, naringin, naringenin, carotenes, and lutein.  Their intense citrus aroma and sour flavor increase your appetite on a hot summer day.

Enjoy!!
