Seafood is something that can definitely get boring. Knowing all of the health benefits of salmon, it’s something that is part of my diet once a week. I’m used to cooking the same old salmon with lemon and dill. Tonight, I decided to kick it up a notch and go for a sweet and savory dish. I invite you to try this recipe for yourself and your family. It’s naturally sweet enough that kids will love it too. AND you will be getting vitally important Omega-3 fatty acids! These fats are important for skin, hair, healthy inflammatory response in the body and so much more!
