Fish has become a staple in our diet as the boys and I have picked up an avid interest in fishing! Most of our fish recipes are made using fresh fish that we have caught!

We love this paired with grilled vegetables like fresh green beans or asparagus topped with cheese sauce. I am a salmon loving convert after tasting this yummy recipe for the first time. Now we have it once a week at least.
We’ve experimented with a few variations, and used Swerve brown sugar sweetener for a low carb version of this dish.

Kitchen essentials for grilling:
- I love using these non-stick T-fal Frying Pans for all of my sauteing.
- These silicone tongs are perfect for flipping and grasping.
- This Henckel Knife is my favorite for slicing and dicing in the kitchen.
- These grilling bags make clean up a breeze and these parchment paper bags are perfect for packaging.
Costco has great deals on fresh Salmon. We recently returned from an epic fishing trip to Prince Rupert and were lucky enough to bring home tons of fresh salmon and halibut.
Even the kids loved this salmon recipe and had leftovers for lunch the next day. It’s easy for kids to eat because the bones can be simply pulled out and discarded.
