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.
If you are allergic to gluten use tamari instead of soy sauce.
Recipe FAQS
Yes, wild caught salmon is lower in fat and higher in essential minerals than farm raised.
Feel free to use any veggies you want, just keep in mind cooking times will vary.
