Recipe Notes

This is one of those recipes that I love to recommend for patients who are always looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

It is a quick and simple recipe and relies on ingredients that you probably already have in your house – breadcrumbs, garlic, olive oil and vinegar. You don’t have to use salmon for this recipe. Almost any fish with will be complemented by the breadcrumb recipe.

The best part is that it is a super easy way to get a point on your Mediterranean diet score with a combination of seafood and the whole grain bread crumbs.
