About the Omega-3s in Salmon

Salmon is a fantastic source of DHA Omega-3. Omega-3s, which are known as anti-inflammatories may help improve cognitive function, memory, and focus. Adequate Omega-3 consumption may also reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, ad bipolar disorder as well as symptoms of asthma. For adequate omega-3 intakes, eat cold-water fish like tuna or salmon about 2 times a week, and include plant-based ALA omega-3 foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts in your diet as well.

Look for Wild Caught, Mercury Tested

When purchasing salmon in a can or pouch, look for wild-caught, mercury-tested salmon. Some salmon can contain mercury, so look for brands that insure low-mercury salmon through 3rd party testing like the Wild Planet No Salt Added Cans.

Ingredients

1/2 cup wild-caught salmon, canned
1 Boiled egg, chopped
1 tablespoon Dill Relish
1/2 cup white onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients and keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
This salmon salad tastes great on a green salad.

How to Boil an Egg

Gently place the eggs in a pot of cold water. Make sure there is enough water in the pot to cover the eggs.
Bring water to a boil, then remove the pot from heat.
Cover the poot with a lid and let the eggs sit in the pot for about 12 minutes.
