Packed with omega-3 fats and lean proteins that support heart health, salmon is a versatile fish that can be used in a wide variety of dishes, from sweet to savory. This recipe for Salmon Watermelon Sliders<\/a> combines both!<\/p>\n

These little sliders are perfect for a quick and easy meal. In fact, I think I\u2019m going to trade these for the cheeseburgers I have in my freezer. After all, since they are so small, eating more than one is totally acceptable, right? Seriously, isn\u2019t the ratio four sliders to one burger? Or is it six? However many you want \u2014 don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m not counting \u2014 I know you\u2019ll love this recipe.<\/p>\n
