Turmeric and Ginger Crispy Skin Salmon

There is nothing I love more than salmon. It seems like the more I eat it, the deeper my love grows. That's why I had to share one of my favorite ways to cook salmon, with turmeric and ginger with the skin fried to perfection.

Not only is this salmon filled with Omega-3 Fatty Acids, but it also is anti-inflammatory because of the turmeric and ginger. Remember warriors, inflammation is taken care of externally AND internally.
