The Nutritional Benefits of Salmon
Salmon isn’t just delicious—it’s a nutritional powerhouse:
- Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Supports heart health and reduces inflammation.
- High in Protein: Helps build and repair muscles while keeping you full and satisfied.
- Packed with Vitamins & Minerals: Excellent source of B vitamins, potassium, and selenium.
- Low in Saturated Fat: A lean protein choice compared to red meats.
Adding salmon to your weekly rotation is a smart (and tasty) way to support your overall health.
Tips for Perfectly Grilling Salmon
Grilling salmon might feel intimidating, but with a few key tips, you’ll get tender, flaky fillets every time:
- Preheat the Grill: A hot grill prevents sticking and gives salmon those beautiful grill marks.
- Oil the Grates: Lightly oil the grates before placing salmon down to reduce sticking.
- Skin-Side Down First: Cook salmon skin-side down to protect the delicate flesh.
- Don’t Overcook: Salmon cooks quickly—about 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: Salmon is perfect at 125–130°F for medium doneness.

- 1/2 Yellow Squash sliced
- 1/2 Zucchini sliced

Pineapple Salsa
- 1 cup Diced Pineapple
- 1/4 cup Diced Red Onion
- 1/4 cup Diced Cucumber
- 2 tbsp Chopped Cilantro
- 1 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 tbsp Pineapple Juice
- 2 tsp Honey (I use Wholesome Yum Keto)
Instructions
- Marinate your salmon for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Set aside some of your sauce for glazing later.
- Dice up your salsa, stir and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Slice up your veggies, spray with EVOO and season with salt & pepper.
- Once your grill is ready, place your salmon on and cook on each side for 3 to 4 minutes. Be sure it is cooked to temp 145.
- While your salmon is cooking, heat your rice.
- When your salmon is almost done cooking, brush on some of your teriyaki sauce.
- Grab your bowl or plate and start putting it all together. Fluff out your rice on the bottom, place your veggies on the side, lay your salmon over, drizzle or glaze a little more of the sauce if you wish then spoon your salsa over that!
