We’re all trying to eat healthier. Whether it’s for health reasons, or you’re trying to get in shape, a healthy meal that tastes good is a must have. Salmon is known for its many health benefits, and is one of the foods that experts tell you to eat more of.
This Grilled Salmon with Fruit Salsa and Garlic Asparagus is a great meal for Summer, or any time. Grill it on the BBQ to avoid heating up the house. Don’t have a grill? An indoor grill, like the George Foreman grill, works wonderfully, too! Pair it with the Fruit Salsa & Garlic Asparagus for a complete meal that’s oh so healthy! Know what else? Grilled Blackened Salmon makes a great date night meal. *wink wink*
