I seem to have an obsession with salmon...I make it all the time! My daughter absolutely loves my salmon and says I can make it 100 different ways. My son doesn't normally like salmon at all but seems to love this particular recipe. Not only do I love the flavor of salmon but I love the nutritional content it has. When it's wild-caught and not farmed, salmon is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. Salmon possesses one of the highest omega-3 contents (omega-3 is an anti-inflammatory nutrient and also increases the efficiency of our brain function), and is also packed with tons of other vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin B 12, Vitamin D, Selenium, Vitamin B 3, Vitamin B 6, Potassium...the list goes on. It's extremely important to eat wild-caught salmon in lieu of farm raised because farm-raised can contain a significant level of toxins, pesticides and antibiotics and sometimes are fed a reddish-pink dye to make their flesh an unnatural red color. You don't want to feed that to your family.
Salmon is a very versatile fish and I've experimented with many sauces and toppings and just about anything works. This recipe is truly one of my family favorites. I encourage you to pair it with a green veggie like asparagus or spinach and maybe roasted carrots or squash. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!!
