Salmon in cream sauce

This post was sponsored by Alaska Seafood as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. 

I love incorporating salmon into my family’s diet at least once a week, which is why on this occasion I turned to the Farmers Market that is closest from my home in order to buy this delicious fish. This time I chose the sockeye variety, but you can also find coho, keta and pink. You may have the option to find it frozen, but if you have the opportunity to buy it fresh, it is much better. Keep in mind that in the “fish and seafood” section you can find this exquisite Alaska salmon.

The recipe of Salmon in cream sauce that I present today, I managed to prepare with just a few ingredients, and the results are fantastic. This dish can really enter into the category of comforting foods. In addition, the sides of brown rice and sautéed kale were a good way to accompany this tasty salmon.

Salmon is an excellent source of protein, but this Alaska salmon is particularly of exceptional quality, and its taste is delicious in any of the ways you may prepare it. For that same reason I recommend asking in the places where you usually buy (or even in the restaurants that you may visit) if they have Alaska salmon. I invite you to share on the social networks your experience of buying Alaska salmon using the hashtag #AskForAlaska.
