At this point, you know how important it is to me that I enjoy balanced and nourishing meals. With every plate or bowl I create, I want to balance it with fiber, protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and of course, flavor!
Salmon is one of my all time favorite proteins, which I may or may not have consumed daily when traveling in Europe. It’s versatile, packed with flavor, and offers a variety of omega-3s. Did I mention it’s super high in protein?
A meal in under 30 minutes? It truly is the best! This brightly flavored salmon pairs well with the slightly sweet pomegranate arils and creamy avocado. Plus, the forbidden rice is packed with bonus benefits.
