The fish
In case you didn’t know, I am an ALASKA GIRL. Born and raised as a Sockeye Salmon fisher(wo)man. I take my fish seriously and I don’t want anything that’s been defrosted and refrozen 17 times before it gets to me. I’ve actually never bought Salmon in my life, I have only eaten what I catch. So, this was a change of pace but Sizzle Fish met the standards and I decided to try them out.
I ordered the Alaska variety and got Sablefish, Sockeye Salmon and Halibut. The fish is fresh, doesn’t contain any artificial dyes and is as wild as it gets. No organic label needed here, friend. It’s THE perfect Alaska salmon sheet pan dinner.
You can get scallops, tuna, shrimp and a huge assortment of other fish from Sizzle Fish. So, here’s the link to check ‘em out. I dig it!
The science
Fish is an amazing source of Omega-3 fatty acids. You know, those acids we need a lot more of in our lives! Unfortunately, we eat too many Omega-6 fatty acids that are inflammatory. Things like corn/soy/canola oil and peanuts. We need to focus more on the O3s since they are ANTI-inflammatory and can help lower overall inflammatory burden in the body. Foods like fish, coconut, olive, avocado and nuts/seeds are great sources.
Why “leave the butts on”? Well, carrots retain much more of their nutrients if you cook them with the butts on. I don’t know the literal name but I like butts so…. just hang with me. By doing less work (not cutting) you are getting more nutrients. Sign me up!
