Maple Walnut Crusted Salmon

Maple Walnut Crusted Salmon

Memorial Day celebration is upon us which means it’s a good time to enjoy a good old fashioned barbeque with family and friends.  We often do chicken, occasionally steaks with grilled vegetables but this year I want to add salmon.  I found it at a great price this week at my local Fred Meyer.  (No, I am not compensated for saying that!)  I look for wild Alaskan salmon versus farm salmon.  Dr Weil, an integrative medicine expert, says this about wild vs farm. Wild salmon “tastes better, is more nutritious than farmed Atlantic salmon, and eating it does not have the environmental impact or health consequences of relying on farmed salmon.”  Plus it is higher in omega-3 fatty acids which, of course are our heart health’s best friends.  I hope your “summer kick-off” weekend is fabulous and fresh and fun!

This recipe is an adaptation from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe, a tried-and-true food blog which inspires me and comes highly recommended!
