We generally try to eat healthy around our house. We haven’t eliminated pasta yet and I don’t ever plan on it!!!!! (or chocolate for that matter!) Jon is big on protein and I want to make sure my growing boys (and girls) have a good protein filled diet which will help them stay fuller longer.
Salmon is a family favorite when it comes to fish. We love all types of seafood, but salmon is consistently a good economical buy for our large family. You can buy salmon as a whole fillet. I LOVE that! We can wipe this baby OUT in one meal! HAHAHA!!!!
There are so many ways to make salmon. We have tried quite a few different recipes lately. But this Chili-Lime Salmon is at the top for our family favorites.
A simple rub and a quick few minutes in the oven is all it takes to put this yummy dinner on the table. I serve it with rice and a nice fresh veggie. The pickled jalapeño Pico de Gallo is usually just for Jon and I, but the older kids are getting a bit more brave and loving things a little more kicked up and spicy!
I want to make it again TOMORROW!!! Seriously, you don’t understand the flavor party that will happen in your mouth when you eat this! YUMMY!!!

Ps. What is your favorite Seafood?
I don’t like seafood, but my husband loves it, especially Salmon. I will pass this along to him.
I’ve already pinned this recipe to my file. It looks and sounds amazing and I’m always looking for more ways to get fish in our diet.
My husband eats fish and Salmon when I’m not home. I don’t like the smell. LOL
I’ll have to share this with him.
YUM! My hubby was just saying that he wanted salmon tonight. This looks like something we would love. We also love all seafood, but I would have to say shrimp and salmon are our go-to ones.
My favorite seafood is lobster! I love going to lobster bakes out East. Yummy!
This looks and sounds wonderful. I love all of the fresh ingredients that you’ve added to the top.
Looks yummy! I need to stop reading blogs when I’m hungry. LOL I love seafood, but hubby doesn’t.
Our family truly enjoys their seafood! This will have to go on the menu for next week!
That looks yummy! You have a little spelling error in the top part. Juice is spelled wrong.
Thank you for letting me know Crystal!!! Appreciate it! =)
