Discover Flavors of the World Without Leaving Home

For most of us, some of the best travel memories include discovering the flavors and culture of a new destination. Enjoying those foods in the comfort of our own kitchen can transport us to new destinations without ever leaving home. Lately, with travel being restricted and healthy living such a focus, one of the most popular dishes from our northernmost state offers a fresh healthy alternative. The cold waters of Alaska are home to some of the world’s best salmon. It’s one of the healthiest foods, especially for the brain and memory, and is surprisingly easy to make. Staying home has encouraged many of us to enjoy our kitchens like never before. This simple salmon recipe, shared by Chef Wes Choy from the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, will let you enjoy healthy food for your brain, can be made in under 30 minutes, and it may just transport you to the wide-open healthy spaces and glacier-fresh air of Alaska.
