Yet another awesome Salmon recipe! I found this one on Pinterest- from food blogger The Roasted Root. I made some adjustments but cooked the fish exactly as she did and loved it. I used white rice and I added some chopped spinach to it and saute’d it in some Coconut spray. I also purchased a jar of spicy hot Red Cherry tomatoes with peppers mix and added it as a topping to my tacos. I loved all the flavors of the creamy dill sauce with the spicy crunch of the peppers. This one is definitely going to be on the rotation.
