This is a tasty recipe I love to cook in the summertime using fresh herbs from my parent’s garden. Salmon is a highly nutritious fish, praised for its high essential fatty acid content. The strong taste mixes well with this garden fresh herb rub. The last time I cooked this recipe on the BBQ and it was delicious. Try it the next time your entertaining outdoors and serve it with a delicious garden salad and marinated veggie kebobs. This recipe is compliments of Positive Change Nutrition, www.rachellewood.ca

Combine fresh spices, garlic, and onion in a mini food processor. Cover and process until chopped. Transfer into a small bowl and stir in lemon juice, oil and pepper.

Rachelle likes to serve this flavourful protein recipe with many vegetable side dishes. It also tastes great cold the next day and served on-top of a salad.
