It’s a dilemma! Even when cash is loose and flowing, the cost of wild salmon has always made salmon seem like an extravagance, but with a tight economy, it seems to look even more beyond our fiscal reach. Is it worth it? And if not, what are the alternatives?
Salmon is truly “the king” of “the good fats” fare. It’s one of those foods that has no equal in providing us with those omega-3 fatty acids that our bodies absolutely can’t do without in our continuous production of new cells. Our body literally makes billions of new cells every day and for them to be created healthy, we need an adequate supply of omega-3 fatty acids which our cell membranes are actually made of. These particular healthy fats come from oily fish like salmon, sardines and tuna.
Cornmeal Crusted Cod
