Notes

Add salmon to oven during the last 15 minutes the potatoes are cooking.

Salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids – you know those “good for you” oils everyone is raving about. The downside to salmon is that farmed salmon can actually contain high amounts of mercury and toxins. For this reason, it’s always best to buy organic, wild salmon. It’s pricey but well worth the money.
