GRILLED ASIAN SALMON

While my husband and sons were at Scout camp I made this Grilled Asian Salmon and ate it for three days straight. Apparently, unless I have an audience, creativity in my meals isn’t necessary.

By the third day I remembered thinking that I remembered hearing something that salmon should only be eaten once a week due to it’s mercury levels. Or was that just when I was pregnant?? Ahhh. Freak out!

I quickly googled, “Can I eat salmon everyday?”

I was to happy to find out that the answer was yes! Salmon with salad, salmon with quinoa, salmon with broccoli…I was on a roll and didn’t plan to stop.

My kids used to call salmon “pink chicken” which isn’t the best thing to train them to think.

HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK IS IT SAFE TO EAT SALMON?

You should eat salmon at least two times a week according to the America Heart Association. At least! It’s good to eat salmon because of the Omega-3 fatty acids which are great for the heart and brain.

CAN I BAKE THIS INSTEAD OF GRILL IT?

Yes. I’ve had a lot of you tell me that you either don’t have a grill or don’t feel comfortable using it. No problem. You can bake this at 400 degrees in the oven until it flakes with a fork.
