It means that I get to make lots of delicious salmon dishes like grilled cedar plank salmon, grilled salmon and baked teriyaki salmon. Lots of omega 3’s and healthy fats for the entire family!

Thanks for the awesome feedback Robin!
About how long do you broil to have that caramelized yumminess?
Just watch it. Turn on the oven light and watch. Ovens vary. Mine takes 3-5 minutes.

This looks fabulous! I haven’t had good salmon in a while. You’ve inspired me!
I don’t cook salmon as often as I would like to because I’m not a huge fan of cleaning/filleting fish or it’s too expensive. I wish I had this salmon once a week.
