This Moroccan spiced salmon recipe is wonderful on its own; however, adding the salmon to the Roasted Cruciferous Tzaziki Bowl [1] makes it a meal you will truly look forward to. In fact, invite your friends over and make it a feast of delectable, cancer-fighting goodness! Eating healthy should never be dull and boring. Adding the right mix and ingredients and spices can truly make it a euphoric experience.
This Moroccan spiced salmon is swimming in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DGA) and potassium. This powerful combo revs up your brain and heart health while also providing essential breast cancer-fighting nutrients such as selenium and B vitamins. Lastly, ALWAYS make sure to buy wild-caught salmon that is tested for mercury and heavy metals. I buy from Safe Catch [2] and never put dyes, additives, GMOs, etc., in their fish.
