Tamarind Salmon with Lemongrass




I hope everyone has recovered from Thanksgiving. If you are like me, you are ready for some healthier dishes before the Christmas feast begins.

This Tamarind Salmon hits the spot on both flavor and calories.
You might wonder what Tamarind is. It is a fruit that originated in Africa used in savory dishes, and it is completely naturally gluten-free. It is tangy and goes perfectly with lemongrass and ginger. 

This light healthy dish will take your taste buds by surprise. Perfect over greens, sauteed vegetables, or rice.
