So, if you’re on a quest to become a “Master Chef” and to take on a new challenge, we’ve included two fun recipes for you to try! These recipes are sure to impress the golden man himself – and your hungry family! 

Baked Salmon Recipe 

Salmon is a superfood! The orange fish is not only packed with protein but contains tons of omega-3 and little fat. To cook salmon, follow these steps below for a flavorful and healthy experience!

Ingredients:

  1. 2 frozen Wild Sockeye salmon fillets
  2. 1 tablespoon organic onion powder per fillet
  3. 1 tablespoon organic black pepper per fillet
  4. ½ tablespoon organic pink Himalayan salt per fillet 
  5. 2 tablespoons organic olive oil

Instructions: 

  1. Defrost your fillets for five hours. 
  2. Do not take the skin off your fillet! If the meat glides off the skin at the end, then the salmon is well-cooked. 
  3. When preparing to cook, add olive oil to your baking pan, so the salmon doesn’t stick. 
  4. Place the skinned side of the fish on the baking pan. 
  5. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. 
  6. Season the fish using onion powder, black pepper and salt. 
  7. Place the fish in the oven for 20 minutes. 
  8. Take out your fish and enjoy!

  3. ½ chopped organic onion 
  4. 1 chopped organic bell pepper
  5. 1 pound organic lean ground beef
  6. 5 large organic green olives
  7. 1 tablespoon organic cumin 
  8. 1 small can of organic tomato sauce 
  9. A packet of sazon seasoning.
