Salmon Broccolini and Dill

This is one of my favorite dishes to make! Not only is it delicious and nutritious (high in omega 3s) but it doesn't take much effort in the kitchen and is a great dinner to enjoy with family and friends. It all comes together in less than 1/2 hour, and you can add a simple side salad, rice or spiced turmeric couscous (as shown in the picture) to create the perfect meal! Oh, and for the twist, I've added instructions on to create a special yogurt, cucumber and dill sauce to serve on the side!What is the best salmon to use? Well you can use wild-caught salmon, however, we typically eat Atlantic farm-raised salmon from Wholefoods which is responsibly farmed. We keep the skin on, which makes it easy and quick to season and cook!Salmon is my favorite for a reason. This is definitely a family staple and whenever we cook fish, my family asks for this recipe!
