Pan Seared Salmon with Asparagus & Sweet Potato "Rice"

I am partnering with Mazola Corn Oil today to bring you all this heart healthy & flavorful recipe for Pan Seared Salmon with Asparagus & Sweet Potato "Rice"...



Pan Seared Salmon with Asparagus & Sweet Potato "Rice"- a heart healthy & flavorful dinner recipe







This Pan Seared Salmon with Asparagus & Sweet Potato "Rice" is a heart healthy powerhouse dish, folks. From how it is cooked to each and every ingredient in this, there isn't one thing about this delicious recipe that isn't good for your ticker. ;)




Which is great news since February happens to be American Heart Health month! 




Keeping my heart healthy and heart disease at bay has always been a concern of mine. My grandfather on my dad's side died when I was less than a year old from a heart attack. Though I met him, I really have no memories of him. 




And growing up, I watched my father make strides to stay healthy and active. Having had both of his parents die before the age of 50, he was determined to not give his genetics any additional help. 




Staying active and eating healthy, leading a healthier lifestyle, and keeping the "bad stuff" in moderation was something I learned to do in my life early on.




When Mazola Corn Oil reached out to me to develop a heart healthy recipe to share with you all for American Heart Health month, I was more than eager to get on board. I did the research and made sure to pack this fresh & flavorful dish with plenty of the heart healthy good stuff- salmon, sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, walnuts, asparagus, and Mazola Corn Oil...

Pin It

Hello everyone! I’m Cindy from Little Miss Celebration and it is an absolute joy to be here guest posting at Frugal Foodie Mama. A huge hug of thanks to Carrie for inviting me! I love celebrations of all kinds – from holidays to birthdays to making Sunday dinner fun and special – and at Little Miss Celebration, we mix up crafting, cooking, baking and more, with a lot of fun, to help “craft” everything you celebrate!

I’m a big fan of vintage recipes and cookbooks. Today, I'm adapting a recipe from a fantastic 1958 cookbook passed down to me from my mother-in-law. I have a bit of a confession to make – growing up, it was always a struggle to get me to eat vegetables! I’m always on the hunt for ways to make vegetables interesting, different , delicious and fun! Please accept my warmest invitation to pop over to Little Miss Celebration and get the recipe for this fun take on asparagus AND bacon! Can’t wait to see you and thank you, Carrie, it’s so wonderful to be here today!  

Thank you so much, Cindy for this fabulous summer time salad recipe! :) Just click the link above to get the full recipe, folks.
