Описание: Salmon has really risen in popularity, and you can find it on most restaurant menus these days! It's no wonder, as it's so versatile!! We enjoy it regularly at home (not as much as chicken) and I love coming up with different ways to prepare it! Always fast, easy, healthy, and delicious.

In today's video, I prepare salmon 3 very different ways, and you're going to love them all! Wild salmon is especially wonderful. But wild or farmed, be sure to buy it fresh as possible – especially when making the poke bowl!

Enjoy and thanks for watching!
