If you want to add more seafood to your diet, you can’t go wrong with salmon especially if it’s fresh and wild. Salmon is considered to be one of the world’s healthiest foods. I know you’re really going to love the Whiskey Glazed Salmon recipe featured below.
This will sound very scientific but salmon contains small bioactive protein molecules that provide support for joint cartilage, insulin balance, and control of digestive tract inflammation.
The best wild salmon, with the least amount of contamination from pollutants, comes from Alaska because the waters there are pristine. Try sockeye (red), coho (silver), pink (humpback), chum (Keta) and Chinook (King). Each variety has a different taste and texture.
This Whisky Glazed Salmon recipe calls for marinating the salmon in an unbelievably yummy combination of brown sugar, vanilla, bourbon, soy, ginger, lemon, onions, and garlic. It’s easy to make and you’ll become a fish lover for sure if you aren’t already. You don’t have to use expensive bourbon either unless you want to drink some with it. LOL
Enjoy!
