So excited to share this new video featuring one of my favorite healthy go-to dinners in the winter! I like to serve this with Vegan Caesar Salad, Roasted Sweet Potatoes or these herby little gems!

Crispy Salmon with Winter Salsa

Oh man… I came from 4 days in glorious Mexico alone with my husband to the darkest, rainiest Seattle imaginable. Like even for a native Seattleite it’s been bad the last few days!

I am also just finally getting to my normal annual TRUE reset of January 10th. I always start THINKING healthy on the 1st, but I have to wait until after Pete’s Birthday on the 9th to really get into the swing of things. It’s possible I will even talk myself into a Whole30 soon- we will see since I am really trying to embrace balance this year! Balance and Exercise! #GOALS

Crispy Salmon with Winter Salsa

So here I am, going to myself “if it’s really time to get myself together and quit ordering takeout, what am I going to make???” Here is the answer!! Crispy Salmon with Winter Salsa!

Crispy Salmon with Winter Salsa

I love crispy pan cooked salmon so much- being a Seattle girl, Salmon is just one of my favorite things. And when you put that thick extra crispy skin on a tender, flaky piece of fresh fish, it is truly great.

Crispy Salmon with Winter Salsa

When it comes to a condiment for fish this good, I love the idea of adding a really fresh, bright and delicious fruit salsa. I made this and this variety with Salmon this summer, and now I thought it was only right to create a winter counter part. That is where this winter fruit salsa came in. Cranberries and pomegranate seeds pair with traditional spicy jalapeno, white onion, cilantro and lime to create a very unique and

delicious dish perfect for a weeknight, or any special occasion.
Hope you enjoy ☺
