Roasted salmon with Chimichurri is an easy weeknight recipe. The chimichurri can be made days ahead of time and stored in the fridge. And, the sauce also tastes amazing over roasted or sautéed vegetables.
When shopping for salmon, look for a fish that was caught in the wild and is free of preservatives. Marketers like to try and trick you, so always look for the word “wild” as opposed to “Atlantic” or “Pacific”.
Naming the waters they were raised in can be a way to trick you into thinking the fish is wild. For more information on shopping for fish, check out my friend Beth’s article, The Benefits of Wild Caught Seafood.
