Wild Salmon is truly KING when it comes to maintaining good health, especially when it’s super fresh and that’s why I wanted to share the Citrus Wild Salmon Dinner featured below.

I’m lucky to live in Los Angeles, near the Pacific Ocean.  I can’t imagine how hard it must be to get fresh wild fish if you live in Kansas or anywhere else far away from the water.  However, I had no idea how amazing true wild salmon was until I took a cruise to Alaska.  Our first stop was in Seattle and even there it was clearly superior. When we got up to Alaska I was in Salmon heaven especially when we took a float plane over glaciers to a lodge in the middle of nowhere where they had a salmon bake.  OMG!  To die for.

For this recipe, I found a beautiful chunk of wild salmon at a favorite fish vendor.
