Salmon 5 Ways by Dana Angelo White in 1 Food, 5 Ways, March 14, 2011
Add some heart-healthy salmon into your weeknight meal plan. Here are 5 easy ways to prepare this healthy and sustainable, omega-3-packed fish.
Smoked
Prepared smoked salmon is a great alternative when you don’t have time to cook. Wrap around asparagus stalks for a fancy but effortless appetizer or along with a salad for a light meal.
Recipe: Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Bundles
Poached
Cooking salmon in a bath of wine, water and spices infuses it with flavor while keeping it tender and flaky. It keeps the calories low, too!
Recipe: Poached Salmon With Lemon Mint Tzatziki
Grilled
Thread chunks of skinless salmon onto skewers and grill for dinner in minutes. Sprinkle with a spice rub to add big flavor without marinating.
Recipe: Spiced Salmon Kebabs With Yogurt Sauce
Wrapped
Wrap salmon fillets in foil packets with lemon and fresh herbs for quick cooking and easy clean up.
Recipe: Salmon With Lemon, Capers and Rosemary
Seared
Finely chop fresh salmon in the food processor for a tasty burger. Flavor it up with sweet pineapple and spicy chili pepper then give a quick sear in a nonstick skillet.
