I realize that the recipe calls for alcohol, which does burn off when you cook it.
However, here is a great website for alcohol substitues that you can use instead if you'd prefer: substitues
Here are some of the health benefits of Salmon!!
Salmon is low in calories and saturated fat, yet high in protein, and a unique type of health-promoting fat, the omega-3 essential fatty acids. As their name implies, essential fatty acids are essential for human health but because they cannot be made by the body, they must be obtained from foods. Fish contain a type of essential fatty acid called the omega-3 fatty acids. Wild-caught cold water fish, like salmon, are higher in omega-3 fatty acids than warm water fish. In fact, the fat composition of salmon has recently been evaluated as superior not only because of its rich omega-3 content, but also because of its great ratio of omega-3s to omega-6s and its health-supportive balance of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats. Each of these features in the fat composition of salmon helps reduce risk of unwanted inflammation and help maintain the integrity of our immune and circulatory systems. In addition to being an excellent source of omega-3s, salmon are an excellent source of selenium, a very good source of protein, niacin and vitamin B12, and a good source of phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin B6.

I had salmon prepared just like this a while ago and couldn't find a recipe that sounded like what I was looking for. I am excited to try this... I LOVE salmon.
ReplyDeleteOh I can not wait to try this! As soon as our kitchen is put back together I am all over this one. If America ate this every day we would be a much healthier country. Thanks for the recipe!
