This recipe is AWESOME! And the best part is that it is so simple. All you have to do is stir together the delicious spice mixture and rub it over the fish (you can make a double batch of the spice rub for an even quicker meal the 2nd time around). I don't think I need to say much about today's key ingredient: SALMON. We all know it is high in omega-3 fats; did you know it is also a great source of vitamin D? If you have high triglycerides, eating just 2 servings a week can help bring them down. Oh and please choose wild salmon whenever possible, even though it is more expensive than farmed. Farmed salmon has been found to have high amounts of harmful carcinogenic chemicals (PCPs). Now for the recipe...
