Asian Salmon Rice Bowl! Seasoned lemon pepper baked salmon served over rice with a hint of sesame oil and served with nori.
Salmon is our go-to when we need something fast and healthy. Whether we are baking it, pan frying it, or broiling it, we’re guaranteed a delicious meal in no time at all. I’m in the camp of cooking your salmon at a higher temperature so I can cook it for a shorter amount of time. Serve it in a salad, eat it with sautéed vegetables or even put the salmon in a tortilla or lettuce wrap.

Your recipes are so good, but is there a way to list the recipe on a page separate from all the ads, etc? Maybe I’m an idiot, but I have found no way to copy and paste your delicious recipes to a single page for printing, and I don’t want to print the entire 10 pages where the recipe is contained within.
