Pistachio & Thyme Crusted Wild Salmon

The recipe was made in collaboration with the Marine Stewardship Council.

Did you know that incorporating more wild-caught, certified sustainable seafood in your diet is a great option to consider for not only your health but the planet’s health too? 

Reaching for MSC blue fish labeled products ensures you are supporting your health focused initiative this year. 

This Pistachio and Thyme Crusted Wild Salmon recipe can easily be substituted with Halibut or Haddock. Allowing for an array of sustainable seafood options. 

I enjoy eating salmon as it is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and great source of high quality protein 

Making it easy to incorporate this delicious recipe into your regular meal plans.
