like chickpeas, leafy greens, oats, flax seeds, brown rice, tomatoes, broccoli, salmon and, yes! — even red wine and dark chocolate are suggested in moderation. Heart-healthy foods like salmon and flax, are rich in omega-3s, which have a number of healthy benefits for your heart. The key to creating good-for-your-heart recipes is to preserve the purity of these ingredients without adding not-so-good-for-you foods.
In honor of American Heart Month, here's a simple recipe that uses only the freshest ingredients to prepare a delicious and heart-healthy broiled salmon fillet.

Salt and Pepper (Can substitute with an herb or spice of your choice) |
| • |
1 lemon |
| • |
1 cup of mixed greens or raw spinach |

Directions
Set oven to broil.
Line a baking tray with foil (to avoid a big clean up) and place the salmon on the tray.
Season salmon with salt and pepper, or a spice or herb of your choice.
Cut lemon in half and place it on the tray.
Broil the salmon for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness.
Combine mixed greens or raw spinach with the dressing of your choice.
Place the salmon on top of the salad mixture and squeeze the warm lemon over the fish and greens.
