Overview:
I like to incorporate fish into my family's diet on a weekly basis. Most often this comes in the form of salmon (with rice, and veggies).
Salmon is a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, specifically omega-3 DHA. These anti inflammatory oils are often limiting in our diet and we can always do with more!
Tip If you don’t like the seafood, consider taking omega-3 DHA as a supplement
A few points on fish:
Try to get a fresh smelling salmon
Frozen is often a good option- if a quality supplier is chosen- defrost & cook quickly
I generally look for sustainably sourced sources
The key is to not over cook - a little under is better than a little over
Ingredients:
Salmon Filets (ideally with skin on)
Old Bay Seasoning
Oil for pan
Greek yogurt
Cumin
Lime
A touch of sugar
Directions:
Season salmon with old bay seasoning- enough to lightly coat
Heat up cast iron pan & turn on broiler
Once hot, place salmon skin side down to sear filet (1 -2 mins)
Place in broiler to sear top - (3-5 mins depending on filet size)
For yogurt -mix a tsp cumin (or 1 T fresh dill), 1 T lime juice and 1 tsp sugar into a third cup greek yogurt. Basically, season the yogurt to taste and consume as a "garnish" to the salmon. You can substitute the yogurt for sour cream or choose to just make the salmon
instead
Serve with rice, veggies (steamed broccoli, carrots, green beans, etc., salad) and lime/lemon wedges
