If you’re getting tired of all the heavy winter foods we’ve been eating through December and into the new year, here’s a fresh-tasting and delish new option — my new honey salmon recipe! It takes a few extra steps than my usual go-to recipes but the results are WORTH IT and it would be perfect for a meal when you feel like being a little *extra* especially for a date night in with your spouse.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this would be the perfect recipe to add to your meal plan for that week! Plus the leftovers are perfect for lunch the next day. And if your kiddos are like mine and don’t want the salmon, it’s so flexible – just serve them the noodles with some chicken nuggets and their favorite sauce!
This recipe is made with yummy Pure Flavor Uno Bites Nano Cucumbers (y’all I’m obsessed – they’re adorable and taste amazing!) Cucumbers are so hydrating and have great health benefits in dishes or just as a snack. They add just the right flare to this honey and soy salmon dish! You can’t beat this combo of flavors!
You can also snack on Uno Bites Nano Cucumbers by dipping them in hummus, ranch, or your favorite dip! Throw them in a plastic baggie and spoon some dip in a tiny container for a perfect snack or lunch add-on for you or the kids!
