Don’t Skip The Pepper

We all love finishing our dishes with freshly cracked black pepper for a little extra zing, but there’s actually a health reason you don’t want to skip it in this recipe.

Black pepper helps your body to absorb the active anti-inflammatory curcumin found in turmeric, so be sure to sprinkle it on liberally to help boost bioavailability! (4)

How To Perfectly Glaze The Salmon

Honey glazes can be a little tricky. They tend to want to obey the laws of gravity and slide onto the baking sheet during baking.

To help keep the glaze on the fish throughout baking, start by dredging the salmon in a little tapioca flour before adding the glaze. This helps it adhere to the salmon so you can enjoy every last bit of this sweet and savory glaze.

Helpful Tips To Get You Started:

• Pat the salmon dry. Excess moisture can prevent the glaze from sticking to the salmon. Be sure to pat the filets dry before dredging them in the tapioca flour.
• Cooking times may vary. Salmon filets can vary in size and thickness. If you have a thicker cut, you may need to cook the fish a bit longer. The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F for fish. (5) If you don’t have a thermometer, just use a fork to check for doneness. Salmon flakes easily when cooked through.
