I am continuously trying to find ways to enjoy more seafood in my fueling plan, as well as ways to cook fish with ease! Salmon is high in protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Try to find wild-caught Alaskan salmon if possible. Need a little more carbohydrate for dinner to support your health and fitness plan? Try serving this with brown rice or quinoa. Enjoy!
