Salmon is such an excellent supply of wholesome fat like omega-3’s. When tomato salsa appears slightly too boring, do that mandarin orange salsa, which is in season through the winter. The candy, tart fruit is juicy and colourful and offers the right topper for a savory salmon fillet. Pair along with your favourite complete grain and crunchy vegetable for a scrumptious, balanced meal!
