Honey Glazed Salmon

Honey Glazed Salmon

Salmon is high in omega-3s, super easy to cook and doesn’t have an overly “fishy” smell. This Honey Glazed Salmon is a great seafood dish for kids. It’s flavoursome with a hint of sweetness, balanced with the tamari/soy sauce. Capsicum, zucchini and potatoes round out this dish beautifully, providing a colourful and nutritious bed of veggies.

Interesting side note; if you notice white droplets accumulating on the top of the salmon, these are rich in omega-3s, and so is the grey-coloured meat right next to the skin. Enjoy both to reap the highest hit of omega-3s.

💡 “Tamari (or tamari shoyu) is a Japanese sauce made from soybeans. It has a thicker consistency and a more balanced flavour than Chinese soy sauce. It’s also vegan and gluten-free.
