Salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s offer protection against:
- Heart attack and stroke
- Cancer
- Inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis
- Mental and emotional problems
I don't really like fish, so I'm not sure if the recipe I picked out is good, but try it - and let me know. I'll just take your word for it. ;-)
Salmon Scallopini with Almond Orzo
(I picked this recipe because it also includes almonds - another super food, plus I LOVE capers! Try to use Smart Balance instead of butter to cut back on fat.)
Ingredients
- Orzo
- Butter
- Sliced almonds
- 1 (7-ounce) salmon fillet, cut into 1/4-inch-wide slices
- Lemon juice
- Drained capers
Preparation
Cook 1/2 cup orzo according to package directions; drain, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brown 2 tablespoons almonds; set aside. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Sauté on both sides until done. Divide orzo and salmon between 2 plates. Add reserved liquid to skillet with 2 tablespoons juice and 1 tablespoon capers. Bring to a boil. Stir in 3 teaspoons butter and almonds. Spoon over plates.
