Grilled salmon over bed of spring mix salad
Once you get the hang of cooking fish, it’ll be easy to meet the USDA’s recommendation to eat seafood twice a week. Brill is a big fan of salmon, which is an easy fish to roast, broil or grill. Not only is it tasty, but it’s high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help protect your heart and nervous system, as well as keep you mentally sharp. Brill suggests a simple, flavorful marinade of mustard and herbs.
