Honey coconut salmon is a tasty mix of sweet and savory.
What I like about salmon is that you can make it sweet or you can spice it up. It’s very versatile. My boyfriend doesn’t enjoy salmon so I don’t get to have it all too often. But when I do, I serve myself up the bigger piece 🙂
As I mentioned, salmon is rich in those omega 3s which help to reduce inflammation. Ideally you want to have a good amount of omega 3s in your diet to match the amount of other fats we eat regularly. And because we can’t make them on our own, we have to get them in the foods we eat. We can also get our omega 3s from supplements such as fish oil (this is what I take) or algae oil. Our bodies do a better job using omega 3s in these forms versus in seeds such as flax seed.
So go ahead and make this one for dinner this week and get a quality serving of those healthy fats.
