I am going to share some recipes that you can replace those traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with. These are healthier than the average dinner because guess what, the core ingredient is Salmon!
First of all, if you are going to cook fish you need to start by buying it as fresh as possible. If it was previously frozen salmon, then your chances of great flavor increase. However, if the store has already thawed this fish for you, make sure you are not going to freeze it again. It also may be a good idea to buy a frozen chunk of salmon and thaw it yourself.
Here's a recipe that looks really good and simple to make. Salmon is easy to bake, you just have to treat it with a little bit of care. You should always make sure that you have some moisture in the pan. Salmon is easy to dry out fast.
