Enjoy this simple baked salmon. The seasoning makes it “lemony”, but doesn’t add acidity! It’s a great choice for those managing their GERD.
When I was first diagnosed with acid reflux, I knew I had to give up citrus. And that included most of what I was accustomed to using in my meals. I used lemons for almost everything, from chicken and fish to tangy salad dressings. And without this option, I thought I’d lose one of my go-to flavor options. But luckily, I discovered Sumac – a crimson spice that adds not only a lemony appeal but a bit of saltiness as well (so you can skip the salt or just use less).
So off I went to amazon to purchase this ideal spice for me. And I keep it stocked in my cupboard for many a dish, from seasoning my avocado to adding a lemony zest to my yogurt-based coleslaws, and of course my fish/poultry dishes.
Here’s the recipe!
Sumac Seasoned Salmon
