If there’s one thing I could literally eat every week, maybe even 2 to 3 times a week, it’s salmon. Baked salmon, salmon sushi, smoked salmon on a bagel, a salmon poke bowl, you name it. It’s summer time and everyone wants to eat lighter and healthier so I thought it would be the perfect time to share this recipe.

I don’t see a video but this looks delicious and perfect for a light summer meal. Isn’t it funny how we eat the comfort food and over eat all winter long and then summer comes and we eat like birds?
