There is a huge buzz on Omega 3 Fatty Acid's and eating salmon is one of the best ways to get it.  I know not everyone likes this fish but here are a few ways to get it that might just change your mind.  My kids even eat it!!! 

Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese and Avocado Breakfast Sandwich  (This is my kids favorite breakfast!!)

Toast 100% whole wheat english muffin and spread goat cheese on 1/2 and avocado on the other 1/2 and put salmon in the middle.  I serve with strawberries and now my kids have a perfectly balanced breakfast not to heavy on the carbs.   (IF they won't eat goat cheese you can use a little cream cheese).  This would also be good with capers and tomatoes.  You could also use a whole wheat tortilla shell some salad greens and veggies for a healthy wrap. 

Grilled Salmon and Asparagus 

Spread a little butter, dill, and top with lemon slices on a piece of salmon and grill on medium to high heat for approximately 10 minutes per inch.  Hint:  Do not overcook or it will be dry. 

While the salmon is cooking place asparagus spears on tin foil and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle on some sea salt and grill for 10 minutes. 

You can add grilled potatoes, sweet potatoes, or brown rice to add a healthy carb. 

Quick Salmon Salad

I use the leftover salmon and asparagus from the recipe above and throw it with salad greens, fresh squeezed lemon juice and pepper to make a refreshing salad.  I then top it with whatever veggies are in the fridge.  Suggestions:  avocado (healthy fat), tomatoes, capers, cucumber, red pepper. 

So, try these ideas and let me know what you think.  Give it to your kids and you might be surprised.  They might actually like it.  Lizzie, my 9 year old is rather picky but loves the breakfast sandwich but won't eat the salmon alone. 

Happy Eating,
