An easy fix meal for the weekend that is good for you.
Filled with nutrients and easily sourced, salmon is a favourite with many people for its great taste and health boost. One of very few types of fish with a high fat content, including omega-3, salmon can be eaten in many ways. The Japanese prefer to eat it raw as sushi or sashimi, while in other parts of the world, many people choose to grill it with just a little seasoning.
Because of the versatility of this fish, salmon is great to be savoured on lazy days. Just make sure to find the freshest cuts and you can have great salmon meal in a matter of minutes. See below for an easy recipe to make your mouth water.
