What to make for dinner is the hardest decision (sometimes) of the day. I found this recipe for Walnut-Rosemary Crusted Salmon today and thought I'd share it. It received high reviews and it's easy and quick to fix.

Protein-packed, easy and I had almost all the ingredients on-hand already. Just a quick trip out to the store to pick up Salmon and panko (gluten-free for us).

Cheers Everyone!

Salmon and walnuts are both great sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Pair this easy salmon recipe with a simple salad and a side of roasted potatoes or quinoa.
