Why eat wild?!
Wild caught sockeye has a diverse diet of “zooplankton (tiny floating animals), amphipods (small shrimp like crustaceans), and insects” throughout its life (NOAA). The krill-like creatures (much like a flamingo) is what makes the salmon meat so beautifully red, lean and firm. Atlantic (farmed salmon) on the other hand are raised on a diet of “fish meal, fish oil and small forage fish” (NOAA), which makes it grey in color and mushy in texture.
My Favorite Salmon Recipe
Our family has enjoyed fresh salmon for years. When I met my husband his only connection with salmon was farm-raised, store-bought, and re-frozen fish. So, it’s no surprise that when I told him I was making Salmon for dinner that his first reaction was “No thanks.” I told him to give me a chance to win him over, and sure enough, this recipe turned him into a believer.
It is SO easy and quick! We hope you enjoy this easy meal!
