The Versatility of Salmon
Written by Ann Pietrangelo on January 19th, 2009 in Health, Other, Recipes.
One of our all-time favorite meals is salmon.
Aside from the obvious health benefits of salmon, the flavor, texture, and visual presentation of salmon dress up any meal. I’m hard pressed to name a more versatile main course. From the easiest of recipes to the most intricate, every cook can create a dish that will leave a lasting impression on guests.
I usually prepare salmon as a dinner entrée — something about it seems so elegant. Served with a crisp salad and a hearty green vegetable, it’s part of a well-balanced and healthy dietary lifestyle. Add some white wine and candles, and you’ve got the makings of a romantic dinner for two.
Recently, I discovered that serving salmon for lunch can brighten up the humdrum routine of the midday meal. I happened upon a salmon recipe for corn/salmon chowder that would make a comforting lunch on a cold winter’s day. I also plan to try my hand at salmon burgers and salmon rigatoni.
Would you believe there’s even a recipe for salmon cheesecake? Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, appetizers, snacks… the variety of salmon recipes is virtually without end!
As for the children, healthy eating habits are ingrained at an early age. The food preferences they learn in early childhood will influence them for the rest of their lives. It’s never too early to get them started in the right direction.
