Cheers, Caroline Parrish Editorial Intern, Healthline   Written by Caroline Parrish August 6, 2023 • 3 min read < Recipe of the week Crunchy, savory pickles can elevate classic salmon and rice Time: 30 minutes Serves: 4 Maybe it's the fact that I spend more time at the beach, but something about the summer makes me crave fish. So I'm loving this easy crispy salmon recipe. The pickles' acidity pairs perfectly with the salmon's rich flavor, and the rice absorbs all the savory juices. You can skip the scallions if you're short on time, but I think they add a lovely touch of color and texture. Pro tips: Start the salmon in a room-temperature cast-iron pan to allow the fat to render slowly. This will help give the skin a satisfying crunch. And if you're not feeling up to making rice from scratch, pick some up from a nearby restaurant or throw on some instant rice instead. Get the full recipe! Salmon has a plethora of health benefits, including omega-3s, which are "essential" nutrients. FYI, that means your body cannot make them, so you have to get them from your diet. Research has shown that getting omega-3s from food is more effective than getting them from supplements. Salmon is also rich in B vitamins, especially B12. This B vitamin is essential to allow your body to convert the food you eat into glucose, which fuels your cells and gives your body energy. Try adding this nutritious and versatile food to salads or tacos or enjoying it as a stand-alone protein in a meal.
