Here is a recipe that won’t heat up the kitchen, is healthy and satisfying and perfect for those hot summer days with an index heat of 110!
This is taken from The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen, by Rebecca Katz with Mat Edelson. Wild salmon is higher in omega-3”s and is has good cancer-fighting benefits. You can find good wild salmon in the can these days. I personally buy Costco’s Kirkland Signature Trident Seafood Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon.
This recipe is easy to prepare, has a few key ingredients but you can add your own favorites and you have a delicious dish that’s rich in protein. Serve it in a pita, wrap it in a tortilla or pile it on top of a salad. YUM!
