Grilled Salmon with Orange Glaze

While I was typing this post it dawned on me that I have so many salmon recipe, when just a few short years ago I would have never cooked salmon due to the strong taste salmon has. When I realized the huge benefits of eating salmon I knew I needed to find recipes that removed that strong taste, and I did. Here is why a “Harvard investigator” says this delicious recipe is good for you: High omega-3 fat in the salmon. Antioxidants in the orange rind, scallions and the garlic. Anticoagulant activity in the ginger. Eating fatty fish could prevent an astounding 80% of sudden deaths from heart attacks. So get out your grills and enjoy!
