Lemon Pesto Salmon in Foil Pouch

Salmon is excellent for you.  It is a great way to earn some healthy Omega-3 fats.  Some of the benefits of adding foods containing Omega-3's into your diet include the following:

1. improved brain functioning/higher intelligence (no brainer, huh?) 
2. alleviates symptoms of depression, bipolar and psychosis
3. superior cardiovascular health
4. protection against heart attack and stroke
5. reduction of menstrual pain.

Now repeat... Fish high in omega-3s are friends to our bodies. Eat up!

This dish adapted from Jamie Oliver couldn't be easier and is super delish!

Also, random side note: I don't cook with salt. If you do, feel free to add it in!
