THE FAB 13 ~ #7 ~ SALMON {wild caught}

I have very fond memories of my grandmother opening a can and out came this fish with skin, water, & the spine and bones right down the center. But somehow from all of that "madness" in a can, she created this deliscious, light brown patty she had fried in grease/crisco (there wasn't vegetable oil in my house then). She added onion, salt & pepper, and some other things my 40something mind can't remember. But what my 40something mind can remember is that neither one of us, me or my grandmother new the nutrional value this $.50 can of fish provided our family.
Canned Salmon is still affordable in 2011, its available everywhere from the warehouse chains to your local grocer, and even $1 stores. Canned salmon and wild caught salmon is the healthiest, it contains OMEGA-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, and protein. Omega 3 fats reduce blodd clotting and inflmammation. This essential vitamin has been scientifically shown to prevent or retard many diseases such as, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, protects against the onset of dementia.
So for $2 a can or $5/4 frozen filets, you can add salmon into your family's diet and move forward to a healthier eating lifestyle.
