Baked Salmon with Browned Butter Sauce

Something about salmon reminds me of summer and I love BBQ’ing it but baked salmon is good year round. And since we have salmon at least once a week, we always want to try new recipes, When I came across this one the picture sold me, it looked absolutely delicious. I  altered it a tiny bit but followed it almost to a t.

It is hit and miss whether or not my daughter feels like eating salmon but lately it’s been a major hit. She loved this recipe and liked the sauce to dip her bread in. Kids come up with great ways to eat food, so I of course dipped my pretzel roll in the sauce also and it was great. I hope you enjoy this great new recipe.

Salmon Grilled Cheese

We love Salmon and are always trying out new recipes but our favorite method of cooking salmon is an easy fail proof way. We usually have a small sliver left that I will eat in a salad for lunch the next day but today I was feeling more creative and thought I wonder how salmon would taste on a grilled cheese. So what better way to find out then to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious it was and it’s always nice to find a new tasty and quick lunch recipe.

Did you know that a 4oz serving of wild salmon provides you with a full days requirement of vitamin D, half the requirement of B12, niacin and selenium? The omega-3 fats in salmon help to keep you healthy and help ward of heart disease, blood cots that cause strokes, diabetes, some cancers and arthritis. Those are great excuses to include more salmon in your diet.

My daughter loves salmon. I remember last summer the first time she tried it, we were at our friends cabin and he was feeding her. I think he was excited to introduce her to a new food that she really enjoyed. Her pediatrician recommends that she eats fish twice a week because it is so excellent at helping with brain development*.

This sandwich is a quick and easy lunch item to make at home. You will be eating healthy and enjoy it while you are at it.

Salmon

We have tried salmon so many ways, and some of them are so amazing. But the simplest way we do it, is also one of the tastiest. It doesn’t cover up the salmon taste, but only increases it.
