Swiss Chard-wrapped Salmon with Chunky Orange-Chipotle Salsa
This date-worthy recipe proves that healthy budget meals aren't boring! As good as or better than a restaurant entree, it features salmon raised by our farmer partners committed to producing the most environmentally friendly farmed seafood. We source only from farms that meet our unique, industry leading Quality Standards for Aquaculture. Those standards never allow antibiotics, added growth hormones or poultry and mammalian by-products in feed.
