Ginger Soy Poached Salmon unbelievably flavorful, delicious and healthy!

Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory and antacid,
so in addition to being crazy delicious, this meal really will make you feel
less bloated and gross, pinky swear.

For this dish I went with delicious wild Alaskan Salmon filets, brown rice, and fresh asparagus! The whole meal comes in at only 405 calories yet contains almost 35g of protein, over 4g of fiber, less than 4g of sugar, and just under 7g of heart healthy fats… which is great for such a wonderful, tasty, balanced, and filling meal!
