Well summer time is approaching and because I like to wear pom-pom shorts and bikini tops to the grocery store I really need to start cutting back!
Not really but I do like to wear my Bermuda shorts Just kidding again! I refuse to wear Bermuda shorts! For real-for real the only reason I cut back in the summer is because it’s too hot for walking around with a stomach full of crap.
I want to feel good and energized to enjoy all the nice weather. I focus on feeding my body things that will fuel it versus deprive it.
This dish will keep you satisfied while providing your body with all the good stuff and none of the bad stuff.
I have to say Salmon may be my least favorite fish. I enjoy it grilled, but when cooked in the oven or stove top it can come out either to dry or too raw.
It takes a special temperature along with a watchful eye to get that juicy and delicate desired texture.
I’ve found the best way to reach that perfect texture is cooking the Salmon at a high temperature really quick.
This recipe is simple and easy with a sweet and spicy glaze to top. The sweet potato hash is a perfect complement with fresh and colorful peppers and sweet and spicy notes.
The plate is beautiful and tastes as refreshing as the first days of Spring.
Who says eating healthy has to be bland and tasteless?! This meal proves other wise while providing essential nutrition, beautiful aesthetics, and flavors galore!
