Dijon and Rosemary Wild Salmon

How do you feel about salmon?

I have not always been a fan of fish/seafood. Honestly, I think it was because my family was eating bland tilapia filets for dinner. Not super exciting. As I got older, I learned how to properly season fish to avoid drying it out in the oven. Nothing is worse than a dried out piece of fish!

Salmon is so versatile and can hold its own as the star of a dish. The fish can also be added to a salad or pasta dish (I love LOVE salmon with spaghetti squash). I definitely don’t recommend eating salmon every day, but it’s a great meal to turn to a few times a month.

This heart healthy recipe is perfect for those on the Mediterranean Diet or pescatarians. It is also only 3 WW points. If you’re not a fan of salmon, I recommend checking out my Dijon and Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin. There’s something for everyone on this site!

Why Wild Salmon?

Wild salmon is so much better than farm-raised salmon. It has less artificial coloring and you do not have to worry about what is being fed or pumped into the salmon. Farm-raised salmon is much higher in saturated fat as well. Best to stick to wild salmon. You’ll get the added minerals, such as potassium and zinc.
