Start With Salmon
The Start With … series continues with recipes that use salmon. This wonderful fish is not only good for you, but it’s delicious. The American Heart Association recommends eating at least one serving of fatty fish per week. With these recipes, it will e easy for you to fulfill that recommendation. Start with salmon for wonderful meals.
You can use canned salmon or frozen salmon fillets or fresh salmon for these recipes. For canned salmon, choose red sockeye. It’s a bit more expensive but the flavor is richer and that type of fish has more nutrients. Just drain the salmon, remove the skin, and either crush the little bones or remove them. Then flake the salmon and start cooking. For frozen salmon fillets (my favorite is No Name brand), just cook them as the package directs, let cool a bit, then use. Fresh salmon can be baked, poached, or grilled.
