Considering all the desserts we make, it might surprise all of you to know that we actually try to eat relatively healthily. Of course, we’re not ever going to give up our sweet desserts, but we like to balance that out with things like these salmon bites. We love to pair them with some brown rice and a little butter for a delicious meal that’s also healthy.
