Wild-caught salmon
In a recent study, participants with the lowest levels of vitamin D were about 40 percent more likely to report a recent respiratory infection than those with higher levels of vitamin D. Increase your intake with salmon. A 3.5-ounce serving provides 360 IU, and some experts recommend as much as 800 to 1000 IU each day.

I find it ironic that the image for wild caught salmon is farm raised. One can tell the difference by the fat lines. White lines=farm raised, pink lines=wild caught. Also If you ever see Atlantic salmon on a menu, it is always farm raised. Trust me, I'm a chef.
As far as cooking goes; salt and pepper is all you need. Just don't overcook it, when it's firmish, that's all you need.
I am by no means a great cook, but I do love salmon. All I do is broil it (could do grill or bake too). Just top with a bit of olive oil or melted butter and lemon juice. I love salmon with a bit of dill so once it is done -only takes a few minutes I add dill to melted butter and use it as a dip.
I tried a salmon recipe last night and just did a horrible job! Does anyone have a suggestion for a easy, beginners salmon recipe? I only started eating fish this year so I'm not used to cooking it.
