Salmon by far is one of my favorite fishes because you can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner like bagels & lox to this dish pictured above of salmon on a bed of arugula on top of a rainbow of colored beets from Cafe Pro Bono in Palo Alto.
Noshing on salmon is also one of my favorite ways to get a dose of the Omega 3s. Here's a nice synopsis of the health benefits of salmon along with how to store and select salmon, and the differences between farm raised and wild salmon.
Let's take a jaunt around the noshosphere and see 7 other salmon dishes to whet your appetite. All links have pictures of the dishes because hello we love food gawking!
- Salmon burgers which use pureed salmon to hold the patty together versus egg or mayonnaise. Nice option for those who want lower fat or have egg & dairy allergy. [Serious Eats]
- Lime and agave glazed salmon with basmati rice and broccolini. This dish just looks like a hearty meal that would warm you up on a cold rainy or wintery day. [We Heart Food]
- Grilltastic: The pictures alone of this grilled salmon in corn husks paired with fennel will inspire you to get the grill going. [Another Pint Please]
- We love figs big time! I adore how you can play off sweet with bitter in this salmon with figs, saba and watercress. [Cook Think]
- Here's some fun looking party food: salmon wasabi leaf canapes.I like the option to add on avocado bits. There's also a detailed description of how wasabi leaves taste like if you're like me and the curiosity got peeked. [Fig & Cherry]
- Cashew salmon with apricot cous cous. Get some MUFAs with your Omegas paired with a fruity side. Sounds like a winning plan to me. The recipe calls for yogurt, I'd use a coconut based yogurt for a non-dairy option. [Eating Well]
- I'm digging this idea for brunch coupled with a luscious Mimosa: Smoked salmon quesadillas with goat cheese, avocado, warm tomatoes, and arugula. [Epicurious]
