Salmon Serves Up Omega-3s

seafood plateSweet, spicy and savory flavors team up in this week’s Health-e-Recipe for Sesame Salmon.

Salmon ranks high among fish with the most omega-3 fatty acids, healthy fats found to be heart healthy. Omega-3s are also being studied for their potential to prevent breast cancer, making this recipe timely for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Albacore tuna, sardines and trout also have plenty of omega-3s, as do walnuts and leafy greens.

Wild-caught Pacific salmon is a good choice and rated on seafood watch lists to be among the least likely to contain toxins from pollutants. In this recipe, we add fresh ginger and garlic – both rich in anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting phytochemicals. Sesame seeds, too, contain healthy monounsaturated fats.

Good pairings for this delicious entrée are carrots sliced into match-stick pieces and steamed snow peas or spinach.
