Good Friday and Easter are right around the corner. This mouthwatering fish recipe is perfect for the festivities. The healthy, quick recipe has salmon as the spotlight. The colour is as bold as the flavour, and packs a bunch of nutrition into every bite.
That’s because salmon has high-quality protein. It’s a great source of a plethora of vitamins and minerals that work together to lower inflammation, promote both heart and brain health, and support healthy blood pressure.
Among the recipe’s ingredients are turmeric, which is a medicinal root herb that came from India hundreds of years ago. Modern Western medicine is now focusing in on the value and advantages of this remarkable and strong spice.
The curcumin in turmeric, a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant spice, is said to ease arthritis and support both brain and heart health.
Here’s how to make crispy salmon bites in time for the holiday in just 30 minutes. The recipe serves four portions.

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 475°F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. If the salmon has skin, carefully cut it off as close to the flesh as possible and then cube the salmon. Set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.
5. Add the salmon cubes to the bowl and gently toss them with the marinade until coated.
6. Place the salmon cubes on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Roast in the oven for 12 minutes, then flip the salmon cubes and roast for an additional 5 minutes or until cooked through.
8. Turn on the broiler and broil for 2 minutes to crisp the salmon cubes, ensuring they do not burn.
9. Serve the salmon cubes on a plate with your preferred sides. Sautéed snow peas and rice make an elegant and yummy combo.
10. Store any leftovers for a tasty wrap: combine the salmon with diced tomatoes, a dollop of yogurt, mayo, or hummus, fresh baby spinach or arugula, and a sprinkle of fresh black pepper. Enjoy!
