Recipe Pro-Tips
For the best tasting salmon buy frozen salmon filets. Any "fresh" salmon you purchase in the store has been previously frozen, any time the salmon is left out thawing makes the fish taste much fishier. I love Wild Alaskan Co Salmon, you can use code avocadoskillet for 20% off your first box here.
This recipe makes 2 servings but feel free to double or halve.
For extra protein try cooking your rice in bone broth.
Recipe FAQS
Yes, wild caught salmon is lower in fat and higher in essential minerals than farm raised.
In moderation maple syrup can be part of a healthy diet. It is an unrefined sugar and has antioxidants.
