After a busy day we often turn to the drive thru for a quick dinner. There’s no shame in it we have all fallen victim to this, myself included. The after is what gets me. After I finish my drive thru meal I often find myself feeling sluggish, sleepy and not at all satisfied with my dietary choice for the evening. In crazy,busy days is when I am in the most need for a delicious healthy meal to rejuvenate me for the next day.
Healthy, delicious and quick is this possible? Yes, using your broiler you can have a great dinner in under 10 minutes.
Salmon dressed with the flavors of cumin,chipotle, lime and cilantro add spice to your meal. Serve alongside a salad, rice or steamed vegetables.
Did you know? Salmon offers a wide range of benefits for today’s busy woman on the go. Salmon is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids. Our body alone cannot produce this fatty acid so we often turn to vitamins. Omega 3 helps in reducing the risk of heart disease, aids in healthy joints and skin. The American Heart Association recommends that adults have at least two servings of omega 3 per week. At 1.9 grams per 2 oz fillet the Atlantic Salmon provides a great health boost with the added bonus of a delicious dinner idea! Who needs the drive thru? Enjoy!

Mmmm que rico. Usually when we have salmon at home, it’s from a can. LOL. Would love to try this! =)
Oh yum! This looks delicious…is it ok for the kids (as in not too spicy)?
Hey Marcella!! It does have a kick, but you can omit the chipotle chile and only add the adobo sauce for lighter heat.
