Ingredients
2 lbs chicken breasts (or shrimp)
2 tbsp pink Himalayan salt
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Place the protein (chicken or shrimp) or vegetables in the prepared dish with space between pieces for even cooking.
- In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, pink Himalayan salt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well.
- Pour the mixture over the protein or vegetables and massage it in for even seasoning.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the protein is cooked through and golden brown.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving with rice or salad.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, use vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms with the same seasoning.
For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or chili powder to the seasoning mix.
Feel free to use fish like salmon or tilapia in place of chicken or shrimp.
For added citrus flavor, mix in lemon zest along with the juice.
