Salmon is good for you! You know it, I know it, we all know it! Ha! I try to serve fish at list once a week, not only because it’s healthy, but it’s easy. And as one of my friends mentioned, it’s also good for developing brains! When I’m at the fishmonger, I will ask for a fillet that makes 5-6 portions (depending on whether I want leftovers). Usually, this about 30 ounces or so. I have no doubt your family will enjoy this just as much as mine does!

Quick PSA based on some questions I received via Instagram. I have tried to be more intentional about where my salmon is sourced, not only because it tastes better, but farmed raised doesn’t always have the strictest standards. Whole Foods has their own guidelines and regulations, as do many smaller markets and fishmongers. I have also considered joining Sitka Salmon Shares because we do eat salmon so often!
