Whole 30- Day 3- Grilled Salmon with Mango Salsa
Day 3—Nothing too eventful happened yesterday! The
biggest change I have noticed through this process so far is that my husband is
asleep before I am...Um for anyone that knows me this is HUGE! I am always the
first asleep no matter where or who I’m with. My parents always joked when I
was growing up that I had an on and off switch. So to say the least, I am
loving that Eric and I are in bed by like 9pm, and Eric is asleep by 9:30. Gosh, we turned old fast!
Last
night, I was off early and got home before Eric, so I took time making dinner
and playing with the dogs. I made Salmon with mango salsa and grilled asparagus.
Eric and I really enjoy the recipe it was very filling and a great summer
recipe. As soon as I walked in the door, I started making the mango salsa that
paired with our Salmon, so it could marinate a little and chill in the fridge.
I’m glad I did because it was so flavorful. I recently made a mango salsa, and
it had honey and strawberries and lime juice in it. I couldn’t add honey to
this, but I did add strawberries and a little fresh squeezed lime juice. I
wanted it to have more of a salsa feel. I actually enjoyed this recipe more
than I did my previous mango salsa. It made the dish.
I
made sure when we were at Costco to get wild Salmon and not the farmed raised.
I could really tell the difference in color and flavor. Wild is the way to go!
I also grilled up some asparagus and threw some sea salt, avocado oil, pepper,
and a little garlic powder on them. They were delicious!
