Salmon Adobo

The fish adobo ("adobong isda") is a Filipino dish that is so easy to cook. My Nanay used to cooked adobong isda from the "catch of the day" of Tatay for our family in the Philippines. Now I'm cooking it for my husband and he likes it. A delicious and so flavourful salmon adobo. This one pan seafood recipe is a healthy meal. Salmon is a great source of protein and also a fatty fish that contain the most omega-3 fatty acids!

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—

where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
