Eating healthy is so important and making the right food choices helps our bodies stay healthy. Salmon, which is high in Omega 3 is a great way to feed our hearts with the right type of nutrients and important “fat” that we need. What I love about this quick to prepare fish is that you can pair it with so many different sides and change up the meal all the time.

I found the peppery flavor of arugula, the “bite” of the radish and the sweetness of the cranberry sauce to go very well with this caper, wine and garlic salmon.

Carefully remove the salmon onto a plate with the arugula and radishes. Pour the sauce over the fish. Add the cranberry sauce to the side and . Enjoy!
