Grilled Salmon

Baked salmon is a delicious and healthy meal option for any day of the week. Aside from being a great source of protein, it also contains healthy omega fats, B-vitamins, and antioxidants that are good for your brain and heart. It’s also a great way to curb your appetite by keeping you fuller longer. Below, I describe my favorite recipe for salmon that make at least once a week.
