This may be a mildly controversial opinion, but I LOVE salmon. In my family, we're split down the middle. It's difficult for me to understand how someone couldn't love it, but I guess everyone is entitled to their preferences. And if you've never tried, let this be your sign. You are missing out! If it helps, I believe J. Lo eats it frequently.

Besides high protein and all of the Omega-3s, salmon also has a fair amount of fat. This makes it difficult to dry out. Over the years, I have flavored it many different ways, and my favorite is super simple- lime juice and zest. Today, I took it to a new level by using lime tortilla chips.

Coating meat with a crust before cooking helps to seal in the moisture. And, there are many flavorful options to choose from...

• Breadcrumbs
• Crackers
• Pretzels
• Chips
• Nuts
• Hard Cheeses

Can you eat salmon raw?

In many countries, raw salmon is enjoyed as sashimi. Unless the meat is cooked to 145 degrees, there is a risk of bacteria and parasites. If salmon is blast frozen to -31 degrees and then properly thawed, most parasites will have been killed. Look at the salmon before eating. It should be moist and firm.
