    Salmon cooked in citrusy sauces make a wonderful dish. It works well with lime, lemon and orange. Salmon is delicious and high in Omega 3 a healthy choice for fish.

    Sometime ago my cholesterol and triglyceride were both high. My doctor convinced me to take statin but I refused. I told him to give me 3 months and I will lower my numbers without taking any medication. Note: I am not a doctor or an expert in the field of medicine so I don’t suggest that you do what I did before consulting your doctor.

    My health was monitored by a doctor. So anyway, for 3 months all I ate was oatmeal for breakfast, salmon and salad for lunch and dinner. On top of that, I was also doing the treadmill regularly. Guess what, I achieved my goal in 3 months and my numbers were normal. My doctor kept asking me what I did – I guessed her numbers were high too. LOL

    During that time, I wasted so much salmon when I have a left over. I don’t like eating left over salmon. But when making salmon with lime, cilantro & jalapeno the fishy smell disappears. Citrus sauces are easy to make and flavorful.

    This dish can be paired with rice, veggies or made into a taco. Just add some lettuce, tomato and cheese you have a salmon fish tacos.
