Garlic and Thyme Skillet Salmon

If you love salmon, you’ll really enjoy this Garlic and Thyme Skillet Salmon, where you leave the skin on, and crisp it up in garlic and thyme.

The skin actually has the highest amounts of Omega 3’s, so leaving it on is hugely beneficial, it also protects the fish while cooking which keeps even more nutrients inside, instead of cooked off in the pan. Look for wild-caught Pacific salmon when you shop for the highest quality fish.
