Salmon with Tomatoes & Capers
While the total fat grams per serving may look scary, the fats that are in salmon are commonly referred to as “good fats.” While fat calories are still the same, the type of fat you find in salmon is a healthier fat when it comes to heart and brain health.
Salmon is one of the best sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, which the American Heart Association recommends eating twice weekly. Additionally, the types of fats in salmon are predominantly mono- and poly-unsaturated fats, which may improve cholesterol levels and overall cardiovascular health, when eaten in place of saturated (think solid at room temperature fats).
Making this dish with a side of beans and greens further bumps up the nutritional profile of this dish as a great source of iron, fiber, vitamin C, folate, and potassium, along with providing more than one full serving of veggies for the meal.

Preheat grill on HIGH. Add garlic, onion, red pepper flakes, tomatoes, capers, and parsley to bowl; stir to combine.
Coat 12-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 Tbsp oil. Season both sides of salmon with salt and pepper; center in skillet, skinned-side down.
Pour tomato-caper mixture around salmon portions in skillet; drizzle remaining oil over salmon. Garnish salmon with lemon slices.
Place skillet on grill; close grill lid. Cook about 20 min, until internal temp reaches 130 degrees (check by inserting thermometer halfway into thickest part of salmon).
Remove skillet carefully from grill using oven mitts; let rest 2 minutes. Serve.
