Wild Alaskan Salmon Salad
* 2 cans of wild Alaskan pink salmon
* 1 chopped red onion
* 1 red pepper
* 3 cloves of minced garlic
* 2 diced dill pickles
* 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil.
* 1 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
* 1/2 cup of your favorite mayonnaise (I use a garlic aioli variety)
* salt and ground pepper
* fresh chopped parsley
Benefits of Omega-3s and Salmon
If you’re unfamiliar with the virtues of Omega-3 fatty acids, consider this: a classic study of Greenland Eskimos whose diets included a high consumption of wild salmon resulted in a statistically low incidence of coronary disease and cancer. And, recent studies show that just one serving of salmon per week can significantly lower your chance of cardiac arrest. And did I mention that this stuff actually tastes good?
Start by making sure to drain your canned salmon well, then empty into a large mixing bowl. Break apart bigger chunks with a fork, and combine all of the remaining ingredients except for the parsley, and mix thoroughly.
Serve the Wild Alaskan Salmon Salad
Wild Alaskan salmon salad is a delicious treat on its own – serve on a leaf of lettuce and sprinkle with the parsley to garnish, or enjoy it in a whole wheat tortilla. This salad is also amazing heated, since it allows the Parmesan to melt and release its full flavor
