Mood Salmon

Salmon

Feeling low, like you're headin' downstream? Think upstream with Salmon!

Salmon is rich in 3 key mood-elevator nutrients: Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D.

Vitamins B6 and B12 are natural at lifting mood and energy. Vitamin D provides high levels of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter that influences mood.

Salmon is also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, is high in protein, and is low in calories and saturated fats.

Thinkin' you can't afford Salmon on your unemployed budget? Think again.

There are many brands that sell high quality, inexpensive canned salmon. Try Whole Foods brand 365, water-packed.

Rinse and dry fresh salmon filets

Place them on your favorite baking pan

To make the pan non-stick, rub a very thin layer of oil on the bottom of the pan.

Mix:

This topping might seem silly, but it's easy and makes the fish extremely creamy and flavorful.

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons (1/8 cup) hearty dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• Spread the mixture on top of the filets
• Bake at 375 for 15 minutes
