Savory Smoky Salmon on a bed of Leeks and Fennel

Salmon is one of the easiest, healthy meals to prepare on a weeknight but sometimes we need to put a new spin on it. This week I made a delicious salmon with my Fish You Were Here and You’re So Spain spice blends. The spices added a nice smoky flavor and paired wonderfully with the tried and true favorite herby vegetable mix of leeks and fennel. The leeks and fennel help to cut the richness of the salmon and is a perfect compliment.

Jamaican Jerk Grilled Salmon With Island Salsa

no woman no spice

This recipe screams summer and we love a good summer recipe especially one that’s fresh and healthy! This salmon is true perfection. Our No Woman No Spice Jamaican Jerk spice blend is absolutely hands down a star in this one. It imparts the key island flavors we love: allspice, cinnamon, garlic, habanero (scotch bonnet) and much more blended just right to give that authentic flavor.

Salmon Salad with Summer Vegetables and Za'atar Dressing

while my zaatar gently weeps while my zaatar gently weeps refill

The za'atar strikes back in this amazing grilled salmon salad with fresh farmers market vegetables! I taught this fantastic recipe in our Healthy On You® online cooking class today and we had so much fun cooking together. I am still in awe of everyone cooking away in their own kitchens. It’s hard enough cooking sometimes, but having to keep up with me, well, that can be challenging. You have to do some prep work ahead of time but it is soooo worth it!
