Salmon & Vegetable Skewers with Peanut Sauce

Delicious Sides:

While this dish has a meat and veggie, that doesn’t mean it’s complete! The salmon skewers are full of flavor, so we like pairing these with a simple side. We tend to go for a nice side of rice (#1468) or quinoa. Our Asian Quinoa Blend (#1096) is especially delicious with this dinner! But, if you’re wanting to go be a little crazy, we love Fried Rice with this recipe. For a low carb option, try using our Riced Veggies for a great side dish. 

What are the benefits of Salmon?

If you’re a fan of salmon like we are, then you’ll likely be happy to hear that it has a lot of great benefits! 

1. It is a great source of protein. Protein is an essential part of your diet, and Salmon provides 23 grams of protein per 4 oz serving. 
2. Salmon is high in potassium. This is good because potassium helps control your blood pressure. 
3. Salmon is great for weight loss. Since it is high in protein, it helps you feel full longer. In addition, it is full of  Omega-3 Fatty Acids and B Vitamins.
